Wherein Rear-Colonel F. Kagan Explains All

[T]he adoption of a true counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq in January 2007 has led to unprecedented progress in the struggle against al Qaeda in Iraq, by protecting Sunni Arabs who reject the terrorists among them from the vicious retribution of those terrorists.


And whither doth it all tend, you ask? Freddy say:

This turnabout coincided with an increase in American forces in Iraq and a change in their mission to securing the population. Not only were more American troops moving about the country, but they were much more visible as they established positions spread out among urban populations.



Hath not neo-Iraq any better friend than this weight-challenged AEIdeologue of a Freddy, who wants always more and more GOP operatives and Party-hired mercs scattered all over the landscape only just to "protect"?

Is THAT what you originally intended, my Uncle Sam? Our wannabe City-on-a-Hill turned into an invasive protection racket?
