    Where is his war winning strategy, the Thai "surge".

    History shows how the Malays & Brits beat the communists. After false starts they came up with a plan to separate the terrorists from the civilians. Once achieved defeat of the Communists was inevitable.

    There are 50,000 ex Communists in Northern Thailand, surely he could learn from talking to them ?.
