No, the moment we move our forces some where else the insurgents who fled will come back. We haven't made any long term gains that I can see. There is the benifit of people knowing we'll come after insurgent held cities but the insurgents know we'll give them two month advanced notice so they'll likely leave long before we get there.

If the coalition (read: Americans) do a better job of rebuilding and helping the populace and if the government is performing the way the people want them to, there just may be a chance.Originally posted by Ted Striker
The question now is, will it STAY in Coalition hands when the Marines move out and go chase the next bad guys?
However I'm doubtful and also even if so, there are historical examples in which the minority has been able to override the majority and come into power. Bolshieks come to mind...Comment

No one is greeting the American hordes?Originally posted by Ned
Yeah, AH. One could have expected to see throngs of Germans to greet the conquering Russian hordes in the German capital in the closing days of WWII.
Didn't happen.
Don't expect it to happen in the Sunni triangle either. This is the epicenter of the enemy.So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students

Is Ned comparing the US army in Iraq with the Red Army in Germany in '45? Is this a freudian slip? Mass-rapes, pillaging and plunder?

Not really. I was focusing on Berlin '45 because it was the epicenter of the Nazi state. Ditto Falluja and the Sunni triangle. The Berliner's knew they were the enemy and knew they would be treated as such.Originally posted by Kropotkin

So, you're saying that Sunni civilians are the enemy? That sounds an awful lot like a concession that the people who said the US went into Iraq to kill Sunni Arabs were right.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Good. This is a first step to understanding why the people who suggest that the people of Falluja would be greeting us with flowers -- as liberators -- are major idiots.`Originally posted by Last Conformist
