There's obviously got to be a point where the patrol is so big and so well-armed and so mobile that nobody in his right mind would dream of fucking with it.  So theoretically plane would have to be right. 

However all that stuff costs money.  Men, fuel, ammo, logistics.  And while they're out on patrol, the guerrillas hide somewhere and play backgammon.  They'll come back when it suits them.  Remember, they live there.


Thanks ,  thanks is due , hmmmm.

Spending large amounts of money on Iraq has not been a problem yet , if what we have been spending on fighting could have been spent on repairs instead, Iraq could have an entirely new highyway system with a four star hotel and new hospital at every intersection.

Why not make a maximal, WWII effort and send over the millions of men required to do the job right?  Bomb the shit out of the whole country and kill everyone who resists?  Money or lack thereof.  And moral outrage.

Good question. In for a penny in for a pound. And moral outrage? That's just some people talking. We are evil anyway.
