Fine overview of our significant forces and yet the additional missions required.

I think, on the PR / TV front, it is time to show how "liberation" looks, in day-to-day governing.

Why not start US $ denominated banking/ rebuilding accounts, including a US $100 grant(optional loan?) to replace dinar with dollars and move the Iraq economy to a dollar economy. With individual accounts -- so that the Iraqi people voluntarily come in and identify where they live, who their neighbors are, etc.
Yes, one main purpose would be to start creating a "civil society", with a civil database of who lives where.
Such "police state" info will be very valuable for finding the civilian-clothed fighters who do NOT belong...


From Kausfiles on Moynihan:

The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself.
