Okay. Let's put 100,000 more troops back there in April.
Now, there goes an unarmed guy running away carrying a statue from the museum, and you have twenty guys standing there with automatic weapons instead of ten. Now what?
For better or for worse, policy was made that nobody was going to start shooting looters en masse. Certainly this would have stopped the looting. A MOAB on Fallujah would have cut the insurgency off at the knees too, but it has been decided to do this the hard way. They may be right. I still haven't made up my mind on that subject.
The issue isn't that we don't have enough guns on the ground. The issue is we can't shoot anybody. The slow turnover to Iraqi security is working. But the key word is slow.
