Here is a question for those of you that don't think moving our troops out of hte cities would weaken the insurgency. Did the british sending more troops at the US weaken the US's resolve or insurgency? Or did it increase it? The fact is that the marjority of people in Iraq see the US as occupiers not liberators and want us out. As long as we are there telling them how to live the killing of US troops will be considered heoric and gain them support. We are making martyers out of thier insurgents which in turn creates more insurgents. Get our troops out of the cities and see how the cities are then if all goes well we could start withdrawing. Let the Iraqi soldiers and police secure the country. The insurgents will have a hard time being considered martyrs when they die killing their own people.
