69. No. That's was the Petraeus solution and it's not sustainable.
That's why Iraq will fall apart as soon as we leave.

Throwing money only buys you time to put something more workable in and even then you have to have the stamina for it. That's why we need a real international coalition in there to work on economic development. The only way to deny terrorist groups territory in Afghanistan is if you make that territory too valuable to hand over to them. I think that's the challenge.
