Hey FOG, let's do this. I've taken notes throughout the book and hope to put together a good thread on Galula, the strategy executed in the first 3 years of the way and my thoughts on a solution for a more effective ending to the war. Petraeus is doing a hell of a lot, but you know he wants to, can and should be doing more, more that is so politically unsavory here at home, Washington would never let him. You also know this isn't a military victory and clearly the Bush Admin is not up to the task, and the last thing we really wanted there was a top-down created Democracy...part of the Iraqi government is little more than indoctrinated insurgency. not exactly a winning solution.
Can you supply (via PM or email or post here) notes or links on his ideas on American work in the PI and USMC. It's not referenced in his book. If you have other reading material I should look at, please let me know. Have a copy of the USMC SWM? will look, but not sure if I could get one.
