US Military: Can't Win in Anbar Call Stalemate

Mercury News: Insurgents in Anbar province, the center of guerrilla resistance in Iraq, have fought the US military to a stalemate. After repeated major combat offensives in Fallujah & Ramadi, and after losing 100s of soldiers/Marines in Anbar during the past 2 yrs (75 since June 1) many US officers and enlisted men assigned to Anbar have stopped talking about winning a military victory in Iraq's Sunni Muslim heartland. Instead, they're trying to hold on to a handful of population centers and hit smaller towns in a series of quick-strike operations designed to disrupt insurgent activities temporarily. Nice. A stalemate... and this is what their blood was shed for? Is this the noble cause Bush speaks of?
