How would you approach this problem...any thoughts?

I would apologize to Iraqis and leave Iraq.




Or maybe deny the enemy sanctuary and block his
supply routes in from Syria and Iran. That would
of course require more troops. An insurgency can
be defeated by denying him sanctuary.

In the RVN the 25th Armored Cav dealt with
