Guerrilla forces may attrition away the force opposing them, but if they are going to actually take control and impose a political agenda they have to hold land.

Why should a guerrilla force have to hold land in order to win? Their aim is to inflict a thousand cuts on the enemy and make it not feasible for the invaders to stay there. That is exactly what they did in Vietnam and that is exactly what they are doing in Iraq.
