The difference is...every report I've ever read indicates that the locals know exactly where the foreign fighters are in every town.
They don't tell US troops because A) they will get killed and B) they don't like us very much.
Perhaps if we planned a little better for the "hearts and minds" aspect of things instead of letting the country go down the toilet the people would be a little more cooperative!
And to be honest, I've always thought that if we did pull out ala Murtha that the local militas would snuff out the foreign terrorists in about a day. Full on civil war might ensue...but at least it would be clean
Dinking some wine right now. Perfect end to an afternoon of shingling.
