For strategists in Iraq…
Here’s a penetrating strategic assessment on Iraq by Bartle Bull (of Prospect). Bull’s essay, “Mission Accomplished,” is long, but it’s reasoned, articulate, and extremely well-supported. I’m serving it up here on astropolitics.org blog not to open an argument about the Iraqi question, but to offer a quality litmus test to those Iraq-focused strategists out there who are (or will be) working at either the national or operational level of strategy development. If you’re on your game, my sense is that Bull’s argument will speak clearly to you, whether you find yourself in agreement or not. If this essay loses you, then you’ve got a good guidepost for the degree of understanding you’ll want to drive toward in honing your effectiveness. – Eros (Thanks for the keys, Ev.)

Even I can tell when sunshine is being blown up my skirt.
Its so nice of you to come calling Eros (or should I say, Doctor Pace?). I was hoping you would post the one on Iran via Syria by way of Israel. Now THAT was a sharp analysis.
