To defeat a native insurgency, you have to take away its support base, which is the local civilian population.

And to take away the support base means you have to make the local populace believe, en mass, that it's better for them to accept American plans for Iraq rather than to have the right of freedom from foreign occupation and tyranny.

And to do that, you'd have to take away their lives, their souls, their hearts and their minds.

So, short of turning all of Iraq into a glass parking lot, that's just not going to happen.
