If the enemy didn't improvise and adapt pretty soon they would be eliminated as an effective force. Changing tactics and techniques is not something new and special. Both sides do it in almost every way. If this were a soccer or football game, your comment would be a reasonable one. Unfortunately, this is a real and not a game. Real Americans are getting killed and maimed with no end in sight. In a no win situation, we are the ones worse for the wear..........the cost to us in dollars and lives is much higher. As for playing with Americans its a pretty deadly game for them. They have died in large numbers. "Playing with the Americans", implies a lot more success than they have had, and a lot less pain then we have caused them. Again, from their perspective, they do not have a lot to lose. You're right though.........they have lost a lot of people in the fighting but there are 22 million Iraqis and only 150k Americans in Iraq. How long do you think it will be before Americans in large numbers realize that the US has made a serious blunder. Right now, that number is about half the population. ted
