"Anybody who thinks that you can win any conflict, particularly one like this, using only the military instrument of power, has not been paying attention for the past 60 years. You can’t employ military force in this kind of environment, in this kind of conflict, without also having the assistance of all the other instruments of power. Where are the other executive departments in assisting in Iraq? No you can’t do that. "

- Col. Jack Jacobs (U.S. Army retired) MSNBC military analyst discussing the poor job the U.S. has done applying diplomatic, economic and political means to the situation in Iraq.
