Don't need to remind anyone, they know it today and the stunts we see coming from the governments (not the suicide squads - they're another issue) are a result of our accepting other terms. Our tactics change, their's will change.

Sealing the borders and taking fewer IED casualties would have to be acceptable to the dems; they might protest but they would not stop it. Note the 'lower casualties' part - it goes with 'fewer troops on the ground'.

We've handed 'palestine / Israel' over to the bad guys as their license to lie, cheat, and steal. I do not believe that the average Iraqi gives a damn about a bunch of jordinians stranded between Israel and islamic utopia - and stranded by their own leadership. It's a scam in the same manner as every inner city riot and drive-by is scammed onto [white] 'racism'. Ain't the cause, its the alibi.

And it will or would not be a short struggle.

Given your screen name I'm saddened that you are willing to write off the Kurds; I don't want that happening again.

I agree completely. But the "Arab Street" still uses it, and I doubt that our intention to separate it from the WOT would really fly with them.

God knows I don't either. I am just saying that partitioning may happen whether we want it or not. Right now the Kurdish portion is the most peaceful part of the entire country. Maybe we should supply and arm them, if we could do ti without prompting a Turk invasion.
