Fight Against Insurgence

[70Chip]

"The study notes that U.S. military interventions can be risky as well as costly because of the tenacity of jihadists, 'infected by religious extremism.' It says massive military interventions against insurgencies usually fail."

The real story here is that The Rand Corporation is still chowing down at the public trough and passing off banal truisms as deeply insightful analysis. Who knew that jihadists were both tenacious and "infected by religious extremism"? Next they will reveal that many of these jihadists are also Muslims.

Fighting insurgencies is difficult, it's not impossible. We are on the road to victory in Iraq and no cold water from the dim bulbs that sit around on their brains at The Rand Corporation can alter that fact.
