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.

It is an interesting idea, but insurgency covers a larga area and
doing so would require much more troops than are available.

A perfect application for interdiction and mining operations.
No tripple canopy cover, mostly open desert. Declare that the Iraq
borders between Syria and Iran are no-man land and are freefire
zones...and seed the travel routes with land mines. And while
were in the mining mode start at the us/mexican border..

Our troops derserve to either be fully supported or should be
withdrawn..

Bottom line Pres. Bush is in over his head..and needs some sound
council..

Then it becomes a matter of attrition, or more importantly
national will power and probably activating the draft.

In the RVN the 25th Armored Cav dealt with
command det IED.s on Rt 1 in the mid 60's.
There's a historical account of their ordeal
titled, " A Hundred Miles of Bad Road".

The pentagon policy makers surely knew this
was coming three years ago.........didn't they?

Maybe their advisers were too busy shoplifting at Target, to think
about that stuff.


Yea go figure that one, **** your life away for what?
