If there are "No Go Zones" they were established by the micro-management of politicians be they American politicians and or a combination of American politicians and Iraqi politicians. It is apparent to me that the micro-management by the politicians (much like what took place in Vietnam) may very well prevent the US from accomplishing its mission in Iraq. This is a fear that I have expressed periodically from prior to the invasion to post invasion. The reason that these "No Go Zones" have been established is because the decision has been made by politicians not to allow the military to crush the enemy that are located in these areas. The military can crush the will of these people to fight if they are allowed to do so...by the use of our air power alone. By not allowing our military to persue the mission in Iraq as it should be persued the conflict will be prolonged...which actually increases the KIA's and WIA's for our forces and for the Iraqi people...fighters as well as non fighters...and the mission will probably not be accomplished. If the micro-management continues...and I think it will...I will be writing to my congressman at some point in time...as well as to the White House...to bring our troops home. The US forces can take almost 100% control of the security within Iraq within thirty days if they were to be allowed to. It would be brutal...but in the long run...would save lives on both sides...and would allow for the mission to be accomplished. There is not any nice way to conduct war and accomplish the mission.
You quoted a figure of 10-30 thousand dead Iraqi's but several thousand of that number have been killed by Iraqi's. Just in the last few months more than 700 Iraqi police have been killed by their fellow Iraqi's and or foreign fighters.

Total pigshit and the writings of a demented fool.
Your solution would have us fighting terrorists for ages. How many innocent people would die in your solution? You want to employ the same tactics the Nazis employed.
If the army were doing it there way they would not of gone in the first place and if offered the chance of having complete control today, they would be on the first planes out of there tomorrow. Itr's only because of the politicians the troops are there in the first place.
And you bring up Vietnam, another waste of peoples lives to achieve what? The North wanted to rule the South, the North won. Or are they not in control of it today?
Stop being stupid you are bringing down the level of GFY.
