There Are Four Iraq Wars - How many of them can we win?
Our strategic stagnation in Iraq results from the fact that we are fighting four wars, not one. According to Defense Secretary Robert Gates: "One is Shi'a on Shi'a, principally in the south; the second is sectarian conflict, principally in Baghdad, but not solely; third is the insurgency; and fourth is al Qaida, and al Qaida is attacking, at times, all of those targets." |
