Josh Manchester, The Adventures of Chester, adds a brilliant wrinkle to the Pentagon’s reported "Go Long" strategy for Iraq, i.e. Go Long and Go Native.
"These changes would be dramatic. It takes guts to tell a sovereign government that we’re relieving it of its military. But by going native, the US can destroy or neutralize the Shi’ite militias; restore confidence in the Iraqi armed forces; increase our language and cultural proficiency, which is a huge force multiplier; and over time we can gradually cede the military back to the Iraqi government."
Probably too innovative for even the Bush administration, but worth a look.
