A Better Strategy For Iraq

[Martin]

Regardless of the good parts of the Viet Nam conflict, I'd like to quote a Colonel on a different messageboard: "Counter insurgency isn't so much about lessons learned as it is mistakes revisited."

I think what he meant was that you deal with the problems, not just solutions, and that they tend to repeat themselves. Therefore you should keep them in mind.

(not saying the strategy suggested is a bad one)
