Granted I have just had 9 beers,
Granted I just got back from 2 months outside Fallujha,
Granted I have only been in Iraq about 14 months since April 04
IMHO we have to get out among the people, gain their trust (IE:get intell about the bad guys, then kill'm), lead, train & advise the local security forces, develope & maintain security so that they promote economic advancement (IE: if a man is working, making a better life for his family, see a positive future). THERE IS NO WAY WE CANNOT WIN.
Just wish we could get everybody else to see that. God I hope we don't screw this one up.
Aw hell, getting another beer. Can't have any next month when I go back.
