Insurgent Strongold?

How many years have we been in Iraq, and why the hell is there ANY place in that country where insurgents can still enjoy a "stronghold"?

The majority of Americans no longer support the war in Iraq. Many of them never have and never will. The ones who did support the war, but no longer do, are fed up with the pussy footing that is going on over there. God Bless our millitarty. They are fighting this war with one arm tied behind their backs, and I am starting to get sick and tired of it.
