"When you treat a "war" like a peace keeping mission or police action and you constantly change the soldiers on the ground rules of engagement, and dont let them defend themselves against clear threats stemming from mosques and foreign fighters shooting and running back over the border with syria you have a clear problem. There is a reason why we haven't won a real "war" since ww2."
The guys I know who in the sandbox now are not reporting this sort of thing to me. Maybe your news is old?
If you don't secure your borders you are not a nation. We don't get that here in America, and the Iraqis and the Coalition forces dont understand this. We have moved more troops to the western region but too few are there. Ramadi is a rats nest and should have been nuked. So you kill a lot of innocence, but think of all the terrorist that are camped out and being harbored by the sunnis. There is a vast network in the Anbar province we can't break up.
