#1 Real counter-insurgency success in Iraq would consist of managing to help AQI and the "nationalist insurgents" kill each other off. I don't see the Iraqi Sunni rejectionists as any less pernicious to Iraq's future or our security than AQI. As I said from the start of "Sunni engagement", sounds fine as long as it includes lots of airpower and artillery.
