[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 124573, member: 1912"] I can't totally disagree with the point. The military solution is one part of the solution. We have to supplement it with other solutions. At the risk of sounding like I'm quoting vietnamizaton doctrine I do think we have to do more to win the hearts and minds of the people. Unlike vietnam many Iraqi's have access to the media through TV and the newpapers. More needs to be done to reach out to the average Iraqi and sway their opinions. First thing you do with a brush fire is try to isolate it and let it burn itself out. We are doing too much that flames the fire. another issue that needs to be addressed is the supply of arms to the counter-insurgency. We have to find the sources and stop the flow. The idea that we would not disarm the iraqi army 3 years ago was a critical blunder that we are still paying for today. [/QUOTE]
