that tactics, and it is ineffective and old. I told you the terms, and you didn't even dig them out and see what they meant? Go do a little wiki and find out what human wave attack is. Here characteristic of Lin's calling it Lin's tactic is just for this conversation not as a tribute to him, tactics:

1. light infantries are the main force.
2. no tactical advantage over the enemy, in other words, cannot ensure victory if the mass of force is not significantly over the enemy.
3. heavy casualties
4. enemy pow can be easily integrate to the force.
5. enemy reinforcements are coming.

All these were true for Chinese communists fighting KMT, but not true for Iraqi war.

1. The allies forces are highly integrated mobil force composite force, highly skilled and trained, the enemies are not.
2. There are major tactical advantage over Iraqi forces.
3. There are very low casulties
4. The enemy pows cannot be integrated into the forces, and no need to.
5. There is no enemy reinforcement.

During the desert storm, hunderd of thousands Iraqi solders surrendered, and that created a rather big problem, how to deal with them. You can lift them there without supplies, or food, you can kill them all. Holding them only slow your progress and doesn't do anything else.

When Iraqis fighting the US like regular force do, there is not chance for them to win. Iraqis know that very well. They have been preparing a long term gurrila warfare from the beginning. In the past 20 years, the US led allies has never lost a single major battle, even they are significantly out numbered. In today, when the Taliban/Al Quada in Afghan attack the allies, they will break contacts within 20min, because they know after 20min, the punishing airpower will likely be there. Iraqis also have the similar experience. They were brave, however, before they can see a single enemy, their defense lines will be tore by bomb, and they can do nothing but flight or died. They are low in moral, not the allies. They are the one need reinforcement, not the allies. In fact, Iraqi armies is very similar to the Chinese armies in tactics and equitment.

The need for more troops is not like what your claim, to encircle the enemy. It is for mob control. The problem is, once the major fire fight is over, the rule of engagement is different. The US troops cannot kill as they want, especially when a whole mobs are in front of them. The US troops have to avoid religious building, civillians. When a small number of solders confronted with a large mobs, they have to with draw, even those mobs may only armed with rocks. You can't call in gunship to fire at people. That's why you need large number of troops, like police.

There really isn't a good solution to this kind of problem, the US is at a foreign land; they are the outsiders; they don't speak the same language; they don't share the same religion; they don't even look like the natives. No matter what the troops do, it will be a mess for a quit long time. That is why the US shouldn't even be there the first place. It is easy to defeat a nation, but extremely hard to build one. It will take years, and years. After 60 years, China is still a developing country with tons of problem, and China is rule by Chinese. Just think about if Japanese has been ruling. Will you try to blow something up after hearing an other accident which killed some miners, and you know those mine is for the Japanese? Even thought, Japanese may have nothing to do with this.
