This is the same as saying we cannot win the war on terror so we should appease them so they won't hit us again.
Newt will go over very big in France!
Where is the evidence Newt is wrong about our inability to beat the insurgents? We certainly haven't demonstrated that we can. It is painfully obvious that the insurgents are stronger than they were even 6 weeks ago. I am not smart enough to know what the new tactics should be, but i think it is obvious or current tactics have failed.
