When Do You Know You're Winning? Combating Insurgencies - Past, Present, and Future
HRPC Chairman McCotter Speaks at the Heritage Foundation 8.2.07. The Bush Administration's new surge strategy and offensives in Baghdad and the surrounding provinces have been a focus of fierce debate in Washington. The entire complement of U.S. forces has been in place only since June, but many critics have already dismissed the surge as a failure. Congress is demanding a change in the Iraq strategy even before the commanders on the ground fully understand the implications of the surge. Watch and listen as military historians examine past U.S. counter insurgency efforts and reflect on the U.S. government's ability to grade the effectiveness of current military operations.

The only thing we are winning is endless hatred of the US by all the people living in Iraq. All the Sunnis broke with the Maliki government rendering it illigitimate and he is calling it a success. What planet is McCotter living on. If the Iraqis want us out, it is racist to try to impose any kind of government or solution on them.
