BULLoney! War is war. The tactics maybe different, but the strategy is the same. We win, they lose! Using the US military to police Iraq has been a tactical failure. Besides, whether they be Arab, Kurd or Persian and no matter what sect of Islam they may follow, most of the people of the ME --- minus Israel of course --- DO NOT see the US as a friend and ally. They see us as an invader of their Muslim homeland.
And that is the way we should have fought the battle for Iraq --- As INVADERS! Instead, the Bush admin as taken a more PC course. The total war mindset that existed during the invasion phase of liberation, should have been carried over to the occupation phase. This was critical in the first year after the intitial invasion of Iraq. Instead, we allowed a bad situation to get totally out of control. Hopefully, the current effort ---"The Surge" --- will be successful thus allowing our military to begin the final phase.
Your unconvincing comments turn into crack por theories when you add lots of emphasis in caps.
