Thanks, it looks as if both our countries are in this war for a rather long period. At least both our countries have good solid experience in fighting COIN ops. The only way to win this sort of war is immediate actions carried out based on good solid intelligence and whether people like it or not each operation must be weighed with both political and military considerations. The aim is not a body count the aim is to cut down and eliminate recruitment.

Agreed. If our operations result in increased recruitment for enemy forces then we'll lose the power to influence the course of events in Iraq. We must hold long enough to see a non-radical government in power, or all the blood and treasure we've poured into the area will have been wasted.
