Ten Years in Iraq

I'm straying off-topic for how I'm trying to reorient this blog. David Kilcullen () points out the fact, that no counter-insurgency, as General David Petraeus is doing in Baghdad, has taken less than ten years to achieve a result. That result would be political, as in Northern Ireland or Malaysia, not military.

    • Brendan: Welcome back! Hope all the bugs are squashed, but it's been good seeing your extra efforts on the BH.tv forums.
