Sounds like the American strategy in Viet Nam.

I believe the Iraqi forces and leadership are actually in agreement with ISIS leadership if not in actual support of ISIS.

It's called "Mowing the Lawn" and it has been the un-official policy of the US for years.

Mow the lawn. Leave. Grass grows back. Go in and mow the lawn again. Wash, rinse, repeat while counting the growing number of dead and maimed bodies of US military.

This newfangled Vietnamization program seems to leave a lot to be desired.

Well, it's not like it's our lawn in the first place. All of Iraq and everyone in it isn't worth one drop of American blood nor one cent of American taxpayer's money.

The latest hilarious quote from Secretary Carter: "The Iraqis have lost the will to fight." Nonsense. They can't lose something they never had.
