but at some point you ve got to take the training wheels off. because history tells you, if the guys on the ground who are prothat country, in this case namely iraq don t want to win the fight, we can t win it for them. right. go ahead, spider. if i could jump in i want to put a spotlight on that. he s spot-on. the notion of counterinsurgency is exactly what iraq is dealing with right now. this is a civil war. and the government forces have to be able to address the isis threat as if it was a counterinsurgency. which would require a professional force that s probably twice as large as it is right now. which is about 60 people to one uniformed individual. that gives you a population of about 30 million. you need about 1.3 million forces that are on the ground. not across the border but in key areas. the iraqi military simply is not there. a buildup has to take place, there has to be a shared view of what is important, what s critical, and everybody has to
