Good afternoon.
""Redoubling your efforts" and "adapting to circumstances" are not the same thing."

I say that they can be, and in this case, are exactly the same, as we have always been doing what we are now going to be doing only with more people and more effort. The result will be a higher body count of Jihadis and either a stronger Iraqi government or a new one.

You're right that you don't implicitly say that we are losing. Another FReeper did but you haven't. As to implication, what are you implying when you say that the war is not being fought correctly?

This is a good thread. I'll ponder all this while the dentist is torturing me and get back to you later.

That isn't what the President said. We are going to change the rules of engagement. He told Maliki we need to treat bad guys equally, not just the Sunni's. And more.

I did not say the war is not being fought correctly. I said we need to be more agressive, go on offense and kill the SOB's. You seem to imply that by my suggestions that we alter our tactics that I am saying and implying that we are losing and not fighting the war correctly. You read all that into my comments; seemingly in a zealous pursuit to label people with different viewpoints defeatists.

I would like all terrorist dead yesterday, but would settle for today. I can't be anymore clear.
