Reply #5: They can't even remove the insurgents from Baghdad

[markses]

And the so-called Sunni triangle is more or less under the control of various insurgent groups and bandit lords - with the occasional US convoy tolerated, or not, at the whim of the the local power groups. And they're gonna remove the PKK from northern Iraq? Puh-leeeez.

Here's what Wolfowitz doesn't seem to know, but plenty of folks who don't run through ideology before they make any judgment know perfectly well: The United States is losing the Iraq War. Not in terms of "propaganda" or media effectiveness, or even endurance. But for real, on the ground, where it matters. And damn fast. What was supposed to be a show of strength is turning into a conceptual blueprint for enemies. Catastrophe.
