The Vietnamization strategy would have worked IF Congress had not started denying funds.

What is YOUR strategy? Please provide it with details.

My strategy comes from being in many of the world's sandboxes for more than 6 years and observing the natives while living amongst them. As I said before the only thing that they respect is overwhelming force. Secondly, an appeasement or pacification program would yield little results because there are to many religious sects to please. In short they do not trust us. A check of MEMRI would reveal that they are willing to sacrifice their next generation by having them become shahids. My plan is simple; provide aid and other logistical support to the enemy you have become the enemy and need to be dealt with accordingly. And the use of air power to flatten those areas where insurgents are known to congregate would be a start.Sadr city comes to mind as a target rich environment. The old conquers knew that if they were not brutal they would lose. I believe that we should look for a total victory without sacrificing needless American lives by playing PC games.
