I agree.
But I think that at this point in time, we should see if we can get significant more troops in Iraq. For instance if we could annouce our total numbers were 1/2 million (or more) were actually in Iraq or at poised to be entering. This would have a significant affect on Iraq leadership morale. And also allow more troops to cover the rear lines.
I also think that one mistake we might find at the end of war, is we were not aggressive enough about "potential" enemy forces AND letting those involve in hot areas to melt back into the country (supposively going home).
That's my armchair guesses- probably misguided.
