Lt. Peter Hegseth defending the Iraq Surge

Lt. Peter Hegseth draws on his experiences in Iraq to argue that it is possible for Allied forces to win the war in before they leave. He claims that the post-2007 counter insurgency tactics have brought a greater degree of security to Iraq and led to a lessening in violence and sectarian killings. He also suggests that, before Allied troops leave, it is necessary to establish a base level of security to ensure that political negotiations can succeed
