Ye, 15 months IS a long time. Look at the huge turnarounds in Anbar and Ramadi in just 6-8 months. W just needs to “stay the course” now...
The surge is at most two months into a full force mode!
What do you think can be accomplished in say the next six months of surge?
Rummy and company did not realize, at first, what developed after they dethroned Saddam. AQ made it the front to kill Americans in the Middle East and Iran jumped in with cash and technology. They, Iran, have over 25 years of practice at sponsoring the killing of Americans and or doing it themselves.
And the democratic front runner proposes to sit down, talk and negotiate with the Iranian Leaders? What side of stupid is she stuck on?
Finally, from our vantage point MSM has done more harm to America’s safety than Al Qaeda!
