For whatever it's worth, I believe that most Americans know what you said is true with your statement: Victory in Iraq will occur when the Iraqi people acknowledge the legitimacy of their elected government. Victory in Iraq will be obvious when the Iraqi people stop supporting the insurgents and take active measures to eliminate them. Therefore the frustration. Our Military is still there. Unless and until the American citizens understand WHAT the Iraqi's are doing to secure their own future EVERY SINGLE DAY, the American frustration will grow. Our Military has been hamstrung. Whether it is accurate or not, it seems that the orders are being ordered by the Pentagon, bullet by bullet. Should we trust that?
