I said it in previous postings, and I will say it again. Most of the attacks come from Baathist diehard areas. Raise a force of Kurdish and Shia troops and let them patrol those areas. Warn the Baathist that the US will look the other way if they retaliate for every attack made on them. The Baathist are facist in mentality. The only good Saddamite is a dead one. In the early days of victory, we should have gotten hold of the Baathist membership list, made it available to the Shiites and Kurds, and let them settle the score and purge their communities as well as the Baathist areas before we re-establish order.
