Richard Lugar
The Foreign Relations Committee is called to order. Today the committee launches a series of four hearings on Iraq. Each of these hearings will focus on one aspect of Iraq policy. As the American people and policymakers debate our course in Iraq, I believe the Senate Foreign Relations Committee can contribute greatly by being a bipartisan forum for advancing ideas to improve the situation. Our intent in these hearings will be to go beyond describing conditions in Iraq or assessing what is working and what is not. Our goal will be to examine options for making things better.

Richard Lugar
With the help of our experts, we will consider whether changes in military tactics, alliance strategy, resource allocations, or other factors should be adopted. I am hopeful that this process will inform our own policymaking role, as well as help stimulate constructive public debate on forward- looking alternatives.

Richard Lugar
Traditionally, Congress has looked to the executive branch for foreign policy guidance and expertise. We should always carefully consider the recommendations of the President of the United States and his team, who are charged with implementing foreign policy. But I believe that our oversight role involves more than critiquing the President. Congress should also examine ideas and express its own views on critical issues.

At the end of this four-hearing series, the Foreign Relations Committee will have held 30 full committee hearings on Iraq in the last 30 months of time. In addition, we have held numerous other hearings that have partially touched on the subject of Iraq. We have maintained this focus because success in Iraq is critical to the United States national security. Permanent instability in Iraq could set back American interests in the Middle East for a generation, increasing anti- Americanism, multiplying the threats from tyrants and terrorists, and reducing our credibility.

We know that the planning for postwar Iraq was inadequate. We should not pretend, however, that a few adjustments to our reconstruction strategy or an extra month of planning could have prevented all the challenges we now face in Iraq. Even in the best circumstances, political and economic reconstruction of Iraq after the overthrow of an entrenched and brutal regime was going to stretch our capabilities, our resources, and our patience to the limit. We are engaged in a difficult mission in Iraq, and the President and the Congress must be clear with the American people about the stakes involved and the difficulties yet to come.

Almost 1,800 heroic Americans have died in Iraq during the past 2 years. During the insurgency thousands of Iraqi Muslims have been killed by other Muslims, including, most recently, a group of small children deliberately targeted by a suicide bomber. Like the recent terrorist attacks in London, the continuing insurgent attacks in Iraq are tragic, senseless, and often indiscriminate. Each day the Iraqi people are living with the fear caused by similar irrational, barbaric acts, but they continue to show their resilience. The Iraqi people get back on the buses, and open their shops for business. They return to their jobs as police officers, teachers, and doctors. They continue to hope that life will become normal and that the violence will end.

Today we take on the responsibility of examining options for improving security in Iraq. Tomorrow we will address options for advancing Iraqi political development. On Wednesday we will turn our attention to the Iraqi economy. Finally, on a date to be determined, we will assess the regional dynamics related to the situation in Iraq as we ask questions about the impact on Iraq of Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.

We have determined that these hearings will follow a unique format. Discussion in each hearing will be organized around four policy options for improving the situation in Iraq. Accordingly, after Senator Biden and I have offered our opening comments, instead of hearing comprehensive statements from the witnesses, we will put the first policy option and associated questions before our expert panel.

Just as a matter of housekeeping, I will read the question and recognize one of the witnesses to commence his or her answer to that question. Each witness in turn will provide his or her views on the option being presented. Then we will put the second option before them, then the third, then the fourth and so on.

After this sequence, committee members will be recognized in turn to address questions on any of the policy options to any member of the panel. My hope is that through the expertise of the witnesses, and the questions of the members, we can achieve a systematic evaluation of the options presented for improving Iraqi security. After the hearings, the committee will publish a record of all the policy options we have discussed.

This morning we will ask our experts whether the basic counterinsurgency strategy that we are pursuing is the right one. We will ask whether it is possible to prevent infiltration of Iraq by foreign insurgents and whether it is feasible for other nations to assume a greater share of our border security burdens. We will ask how we can improve the critical process of training Iraqi forces, so that greater numbers of Iraqis will be capable of assuming the full range of security duties. We will examine whether changes should be made to the current United States force structure in Iraq.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for holding these hearings. We have indeed had a number of hearings examining ideas and new ideas and alternative ideas, and we have jointly and separately drawn from those ideas and made our own recommendations to the administration.

Joe Biden
Quite frankly, not many have been listened to. One of my frustrations I expressed to you -- and I am sure you must feel it, although I speak only for myself -- as we began this hearing is that there are no administration witnesses on the schedule for this series of four hearings. I think that is important for one significant reason. We all know no foreign policy can be sustained, especially General McCaffrey, being in the field and being wounded in Vietnam and leading troops in Vietnam, no foreign policy can be sustained, no matter how well informed, without the informed consent of the American people.

Joe Biden
The American people -- it is not a judgment on my part about the policy. It is a judgment by the American people. The American people clearly have begun to lose faith that we have a sense of how to proceed in Iraq, that we have a strategy for winning. I do not believe that it is the body counts, as tragic as it is, that is causing the diminution of support for our effort, but I think it is a failure to understand or believe we have a winning strategy.

Joe Biden
I compliment the President for having made his speech a couple weeks ago now. But I think it is important the President and the administration witnesses come before us in our oversight capacity, not just to seek new ideas, but to literally oversee the administration's policy and let us know what their benchmarks are, what their objectives are, and how they are proceeding, because I otherwise think we are going to continue to lose the support of the American people unless something dramatically changes on the ground, which could be, I am hoping. I am always hopeful. Because I think we not only want the President to succeed in Iraq; his success is America's success and his failure means America has a problem.

I still -- I am one who still believes, as I think we all do up here, that we can succeed in Iraq. By "success," I want to redefine it here, or define it again, I should say. I am not looking for Jeffersonian democracy. I never have been. I am looking for a country that is secure within its own borders, that is not a breeding ground or a haven for terror, that is not a threat to its neighbors, where everybody thinks they have a piece of the action. We will begin the process, which will be long and arduous.

It has now been 6 weeks since I have returned from Iraq. There are some good things that are happening. But the security situation is still very, very much in doubt. With General Petraeus' efforts, some very positive things are happening, but I believe General Abizaid, in his recent assessment, is correct that the insurgency's strength is about the same as it was 6 months ago, not in its last throes.

Iraqi forces are gradually improving. I wish we would stop talking about 172,000 trained Iraqi forces. They are in uniform, but all of the folks I spoke to on the ground were a long, long way. What it does in my view is undermine the administration's credibility with the American people. If we have 172,000 trained Iraqi troops and 130,000 American, 140,000 American troops, they ask me in my district why, with over 300,000 troops, are we not doing better? You know, it is a problem. They know we ain't telling the truth.

There has been some progress with the Sunnis. It seems to me that we have turned a political corner of sorts and that they have realized they have to get in the game. But that is a long way from being able to actually have a political strategy that is likely to work.

The thing that I have found -- and I am anxious to hear our witnesses -- I found when I spoke to our military folks for the first time they were talking about, not the probability, but the possibility of a civil war. They were talking about things breaking down, not getting better. Now again, I do not want to exaggerate it. It is just that it is my fifth trip -- I went a couple times with my colleagues on my left -- and this is the first time I started hearing about that.

I came back -- and I will end with this, Mr. Chairman -- and spent a lot of time with a lot of people, including one of the witnesses. I have tried to, like you do, we all do on this committee -- one of the great, great benefits and privileges of this committee is the best minds in the country will come and talk to you and sit down with you and visit with you. I went visiting on a regular basis with half a dozen -- it's a rotating group, but essentially the same half a dozen of three- and four-stars who have in the past, like General McCaffrey, had significant responsibilities, including CENTCOM as well as NATO.

Everybody I spoke to in the field, and spoke to back here, talks about something that is different than I think we are going to hear today, that is encouraging -- we may hear something different -- about what constitutes a counterinsurgency, that, really, it is hard to figure out what our counterinsurgency plan is. Again, these guys -- they happen to be all men in this case. I told General McCaffrey this. Folks are talking about you cannot deal with a counterinsurgency unless you can occupy, at least for a while, the territory and you can not do a whole lot if the border is totally porous, and I understand we are going to hear today that maybe there is not a reasonable prospect of being able to do anything about the border.

At any rate, I am anxious to hear what the witnesses have to say. I have an inordinately high regard for all three of the witnesses and I think the way you are proceeding is a really very good format for us to use, targeting what, at least, is on our mind. It may be that the witnesses will conclude not all of it is relevant, what we are asking. But at least they will tell us.

The American people have not been informed about the reality on the ground and the very difficult challenges that lie ahead. They do not believe we have a coherent, realistic plan for success. And the gap between the administration's rhetoric and the reality on the ground has created a credibility chasm that is endangering public support for our efforts in Iraq.

I give the President credit for starting to level with the American people in his recent speech. But to fully regain their trust and support, I believe it is very important for the administration to set clear benchmarks for progress and to report on them to us, in public, on a regular basis.

I believe we can still succeed in Iraq. I define success as leaving Iraq better than we found it. Not a Jeffersonian democracy, but a country with a representative government in which all the major communities have a stake; a country that is not a breeding ground or a haven for terrorists; and a country that is not a threat to us or its neighbors. Full stop.

There are some positive developments. But the security environment in Iraq remains precarious. I found considerable evidence to support General Abizaid's recent assessment that the insurgency's strength is about the same as it was 6 months ago.

Joe Biden
But let's not kid ourselves when we hear reports of 172,000 "trained and equipped" Iraqis. When my constituents in Delaware hear numbers like that, they ask why we still have 139,000 American troops in Iraq. The answer is because very few of those forces are trained to the only standard that counts -- the ability to operate independently, without our support.

A month ago, just a handful of the more than 100 Army battalions met that standard, while many more could operate alongside the coalition or with strong backup.

The January elections were a remarkable achievement, but the goverment in Baghdad has very limited capacity and reach beyond the green zone. This has created a power vacuum that is being filled by Sunni insurgents, foreign fighters, local militias, mafia gangs, and agents of neighbors like Syria and Iran.

Ethnic tension is rising to the point where civil war, though not yet a probability, is a real possibility.

In the absence of security and governing capacity, reconstruction cannot go forward. Iraqis will not put their faith in the government, and we will not be able to withdraw responsibly.

First, we must take advantage of foreign offers to train Iraqi forces outside Iraq. Iraqi recruits could then focus their energy on learning instead of simply staying alive.

Second, we should accelerate the training of an Iraqi officer corps. That is one of the keys to standing up an Iraqi military that won't melt when it comes under fire. We should train large numbers of midranking Iraqi officers here in the United States and encourage NATO allies to do more of the same in their countries.

Third, we should press our NATO allies to come up with a small force of some 3-5,000 to help guard Iraq's borders. NATO has the plans for such a mission; the President needs to lead to give the alliance the political will to implement those plans.

Fourth, we need a serious field mentoring program for newly trained Iraqi police recruits. It is wrong to throw freshly minted and ill- equipped police officers against suicidal insurgents and desperate criminals. They must be partnered with experienced officers -- initially international police professionals and ultimately Iraqis.

Fifth, we must refocus the Iraqi Government on a plan to eventually integrate militias in Iraq. Integration won't be easy. But without it, you cannot build a unitary, functioning state.

Joe Biden
Mr. Chairman, security is about much more than having competent security forces. Real security depends on a political process in which all the major communities believe they have a stake. It requires a reconstruction program that increases electricity, clean water, sewage treatment, and jobs in a country where unemployment is estimated at more than 40 to 50 percent. We will hear more about that in the days ahead.

We will proceed now with the witnesses. Let me state the first option for comment by our witnesses. In this case I will ask Dr. Pollack to comment first, then General McCaffrey and Dr. Cordesman. Option one is: Should the coalition revise its current counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq? To follow up to that: Should the coalition and Iraq security forces create safe zones and put more emphasis on fighting street crime and organized crime, deemphasizing the hunt for insurgents, so that Iraqi economic and political life can take root? Should the coalition attempt to take advantage of divisions within the insurgents, for example Sunni nationalists versus foreign jihadists? Can a political solution be reached with Sunni insurgents and could this lead to Sunni cooperation in isolating, capturing, or killing the international insurgents?

As you have all repeatedly pointed out and I think very correctly, security undergirds the entire reconstruction of Iraq. Our problems with security are hampering, if not crippling, both the political, economic, and social development of the country. I increasingly believe that we have the wrong strategy in Iraq.

Ultimately, with security there are two overarching and interlocking problems that we face in Iraq. The first is a diverse insurgency, but one rooted on the Sunni tribal community with an admixture of other elements. The second is the state of semilawlessness that exists elsewhere and throughout the country as a result of the security vacuum that we have left throughout much of the country.

Our current strategy is one that I would describe as being one of postconflict stabilization, and its principal goal is to try to enforce security simultaneously across the entire country, largely by concentrating the available coalition forces, and primarily American forces, on those areas of greatest insurgent activity to try to quell them quickly and prevent them from spreading.

This approach has several problems because of these two interlocking and overarching problems that we face. First of all, it plays into the classic failure of counterinsurgency operations, when in particular you do not use a true counterinsurgency strategy. The government forces, in this case the coalition forces, move into an area, they take down an insurgent stronghold, but, of course, the insurgents do not stay to fight. It is not in their nature to do so. It is not their objective to do so. They flee. They melt back into the population and, as a result, the major conventional assault has little impact on the actual strength of the insurgents.

The insurgents then move on into other areas, and when our own forces, when the coalition forces, then shift on to follow them to their new strongholds, we often leave too few forces behind to secure the area that we have just taken down. The result is that we continuously chase insurgents across the country, we have little impact on their actual strength or even their ability to operate, and we continuously allow the insurgents to creep back into areas that we have already had to pacify.

The second problem is that by pulling our troops out of the populated areas, by focusing them, I would say inordinately, on hunting down the insurgents in their strongholds and in their lairs, we have left far too few troops in the rest of the country to secure the vast bulk of the Iraqi population, particularly the Shi'a and the urban Sunnis, who desperately want reconstruction to succeed, but are increasingly distraught by our failure to provide them with basic security both against the insurgents and against typical crime, organized and unorganized, and to provide them with the basic services, like electricity and clean water and sanitation and gasoline and jobs, all of which are crippled by these first two security problems, by the problems of the insurgency and by the general lawlessness in the society.

In addition, even where our troops are trying to guard the population, oftentimes our methods are counterproductive. We have placed a tremendous emphasis on force protection, on the protection of our own forces. While obviously force protection has got to be a major concern of United States and coalition forces, we have at times put that priority at the expense of the Iraqis' own security.

Our troops stay in heavily defended cantonments. When they get out, they typically get out in motorized columns that move very quickly through Iraqi areas. There is very little presence. There is very little patrolling. There is very little sense of real security provided by our troops for the Iraqi people themselves.

As a result, Iraqis are increasingly frustrated because 2 years on they do not see any real benefits from our continued occupation of the country, and they have come to resent our occupation, not because they want us to leave, not because they do not want us there, but because they do not see us as providing them with the first benefits of reconstruction, basic security, and basic services.

What I argue that the United States ought to adopt and what I increasingly hear from field-grade officers, American field- grade officers in Iraq and back here in the United States, is a true counterinsurgency strategy. Very briefly, very broadly, what would a counterinsurgency strategy look like for Iraq? It would be based on the classic model of a counterinsurgency strategy, which is typically referred to as a spreading inkspot or a spreading oil stain.

The idea would be to start with a smaller area, do not try to secure the entire country simultaneously, because frankly we do not have the forces in place to do so. Instead, we would start by securing a smaller portion of the country, one where the population would be already supportive of reconstruction. Of course, there are huge swaths of Iraq where the vast bulk of the population is enormously supportive of reconstruction and their anger at us is not because we are there, but because we are not there and not providing them with the security and the services they so desperately desire.

We would concentrate our forces principally in that area or in those areas to make them safe for the Iraqis, to make them safe for Iraqi life to revive, for the Iraqi economy to revive, for Iraqi political affairs to revive at the local level. We would use foot patrols, a general presence, and an emphasis on law and order in these safe zones.

We would then pour in economic resources into these safe zones to give the Iraqis tangible material benefits from our presence. We would help them to help their economy to revive. We would help them to rebuild their political processes at the local level and they would do so in an environment made safe by the coalition presence there.

This process of pouring in resources, combined with the general greater safety, would create much greater popular support for our presence and would ultimately -- and historically this has been the only solution to the problem -- would solve the intelligence problem that we face in Iraq. The problem is you can never find all the intelligence you need if what you are doing is simply chasing insurgents. As the British learned in Northern Ireland and again in Malaya, as we learned in Bosnia and Kosovo, the only way that you get the intelligence that you need is by convincing the people that they are safe and that they are benefiting from your presence. Under those circumstances, the people come forward with all of the intelligence that you need and it becomes extraordinarily difficult for the insurgents to operate.

We would also use these safe areas, these secure zones, to train indigenous Iraqi forces, both formal training, the kind of training that we have been doing in Iraq, but also informal training, the training that takes place after a unit has finished its basic training, its basic training cycle, but still needs to have unit cohesion, command relationships, and a sense of connection with the community all gel, all of which can only happen in actual operations in safe areas where there is a permissive environment in which these units can cut their teeth and not be stressed by high-intensity operations.

The success of the secured areas should make other Iraqis, those outside the secured areas, more desirous of having us expand our presence, and as the number of indigenous forces that we train came on line and actually developed capability grew we would then use that expanded security presence to spread into other areas of Iraq as well. This is why this strategy is typically called, traditionally called, a spreading inkspot strategy.

In so doing, the goal of this would be to deprive insurgents of a popular base and, in so doing, cause them to wither. This again is the classic model of counterinsurgent operations. It is how insurgencies have been typically defeated in the past and it is typically only when a government force has failed to employ this kind of strategy that they have failed, that is, failed to defeat the insurgency.

It has a proven track record and, what is more, we have seen instances in Iraq where this strategy has been made to work. Wherever we have taken the time to put our people on the street, establish presence, mix with the Iraqis, establish mixed forces where the Iraqis are working with Americans, so that the Iraqis see both an American face and an Iraqi face to the presence, it has worked.

Before the January elections we did this in cities like Mosul. We sent out foot patrols, and the Iraqis were stunned, and during that period of time security greatly increased in those cities where we did it.

Fallujah is, in some ways, another good example. Fallujah, I would say, is an example of both the good and the bad. We took down Fallujah, we chased out the insurgents. Unfortunately, they moved to other areas and, as we have seen, there has been no actual diminution of the lethality or the extent of the insurgency.

We did leave some forces behind in Fallujah. We left the Marines behind, who actually have a very good record in counterinsurgency operations, and to some extent Fallujah is better than it was before we took it down because we did leave a residual presence, and we have tried to put some economic resources in to take advantage of that somewhat better security environment.

But we failed to put in enough troops and we have failed to make good on all of the economic commitments to Fallujah, and as a result the insurgents are creeping back, and I know that General McCaffrey will tell you more about the fact that Fallujah is, as yet, nothing to write home about.

Mr. Chairman, I think that there is a strategy that can work in Iraq. It is the strategy that I have just outlined and which I have gone into much greater detail in my written testimony. But I think that we need to recognize that it is not a strategy without a price. Politically, it will be very difficult. It will take a long time, at least the decade-plus that Secretary Rumsfeld outlined, and it is one that will require us to admit to having made some mistakes and to force us to actually shift, very significantly, our approach to reconstruction in Iraq -- very painful political choices.

I think if we are willing to do that, I think there is a way out of this. I think that success is entirely possible in Iraq, because so much of the population wants reconstruction to succeed. But I think it is incumbent upon us to adopt a true counterinsurgency strategy to deal with the twin problems of a full-blown insurgency and the state of semilawlessness that we have continued to allow the country to wallow in.

Prepared Statement of Dr. Kenneth M. Pollack, Director of Research and Senior Fellow, Saban Center for Middle East Policy, The Brookings Institution, Washington, DC Mr. Chairman and Senator Biden, thank you for allowing me to come before you to discuss the future of Iraq, and particularly our efforts to secure that country to make reconstruction possible. As you have both repeatedly reminded us, the reconstruction of Iraq is a vital interest of the United States, just as it is vital to the people of Iraq. As we all know, and have repeatedly had reinforced to us, security is absolutely critical to the broader reconstruction effort. Without security, reconstruction will fail. And until we have dealt with the pressing problems of security, it will be impossible for us to perceive, let alone solve, many of the other matters troubling Iraq. If we get security right, everything is possible, although nothing is guaranteed.

I have confined my remarks to the four options you have outlined. I will begin with your first option, and address each in turn. Option 1: Should the coalition revise its current counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq? Mr. Chairman, I believe that after 2 years of trying to secure Iraq with our current strategy, it is becoming increasingly clear that we have the wrong strategy for the job. Our current approach probably was the appropriate strategy in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Baghdad, but the inadequate number of troops we brought to Iraq and a series of other mistakes rendered this approach largely infeasible. Today, our problems have metastasized, and I believe that we must fundamentally change our strategy to cope with the new challenges we face.

Our effort to secure Iraq faces two overarching and interlocking problems: A full-blown insurgency and a continuing state of semi- lawlessness. Both are equally important. Reconstruction will likely fail if either is unaddressed. I believe that current U.S. strategy in Iraq is misguided because it is not properly tailored to defeat the first problem and largely ignores the second.

Today, and since the fall of Baghdad, the United States has employed what I would call a "post-conflict stabilization" model of security operations. The key element of this strategy is providing simultaneous security for the entire country by concentrating coalition forces on those areas of greatest unrest to try to quell the violence quickly and keep it from spreading. Had the United States brought sufficient ground forces to blanket the country immediately after the fall of Saddam's regime -- as many warned -- and had we not made a series of other mistakes, like failing to provide our troops with orders to maintain law and order, to impose martial law and prevent looting, I think this strategy might very well have succeeded.

However, our continued reliance on this approach is failing. To borrow a military term usually employed in a different realm of operations, today we are reinforcing failure. By continuing to concentrate our overstretched forces on the areas of greatest insurgent activity we are depriving most of Iraq's populated areas of desperately needed security forces, and by emphasizing offensive search-and-sweep missions, we are making ever more enemies among Iraq's Sunni tribal population. In other words, we are failing to protect those Iraqis who most want reconstruction to succeed and we are further antagonizing the community that is most antipathetic to our goals.

In 1986, Dr. Andrew F. Krepinevich, then a major in the Army, published what is widely regarded as the seminal work on American military performance in Vietnam, titled "The Army and Vietnam." In this book, Krepinevich demonstrated that the Army high command -- for reasons entirely of its own choosing -- largely refused to employ a traditional counterinsurgency strategy against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army Forces. The Military Assistance Command-Vietnam (MACV) repeatedly shut down other efforts, by the Marines and by Army Special Forces, to employ a traditional counterinsurgency (COIN) strategy. Krepinevich further demonstrated that these stillborn COIN campaigns had all proven far more successful before they were terminated than MACV's cherished offensive operations.

Mr. Chairman, I do not know why it is that the United States has not yet adopted a traditional counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq. I suspect that it is for reasons far more mundane and far better intentioned than MACV's rationale was in that earlier war, because I know General Abizaid to be a superb soldier and a wise commander. However, whatever the rationale, it is clear that the United States has so far failed to employ a traditional counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq, just as we did in Vietnam, and as a result we are failing in Iraq just as we failed in Vietnam.

Mr. Chairman, if you were to pick up a copy of Dr. Krepinevich's book, you would find, I think, a great many chilling passages. Passages where Krepinevich explains how history has demonstrated that a guerrilla campaign can be defeated, and how the United States failed to employ such a strategy in Vietnam. These passages are unsettling precisely because they so closely echo our problems and mistakes in Iraq today. We are once again failing to use a true COIN strategy in Iraq, and committing too many of the very same errors we made in Vietnam.

The crux of a traditional counterinsurgency strategy is never to reinforce failure, but always to reinforce success. As Mao Zedong once wrote, the guerrilla is like a fish who swims in the sea of the people -- thus, if you can deprive the guerrilla of support from the people, he will be as helpless as a fish out of water.

The goal of a true-COIN campaign is to deprive the guerrilla of that access. The COIN force begins by securing a base of operations by denying one portion of the country to the insurgency. This portion can be as big or as small as the COIN force can handle -- the bigger the COIN force available, the larger the area. Within this area, the COIN force provides the people with security, in all senses of the word. In Iraq, this would mean security from insurgent attack as well as from ordinary (and organized) crime. In so doing, the COIN force creates a secure space in which political and economic life can flourish once again. Ideally, the COIN force would pour resources into this area to make it economically dynamic and take advantage of the security the COIN campaign has provided, both to cement popular support for the COIN campaign and to make it attractive to people living outside the secure area so that they will support the COIN campaign when it shifts to their region.

The increasing attractiveness of these safe areas also solve the intelligence problem that COIN forces inevitably face. Ultimately, there is no way that a COIN force can gather enough intelligence on insurgent forces through traditional means to exterminate them. Instead, as the British learned in Northern Ireland, the only way to gather adequate information on the insurgents is to convince the local populace to volunteer such information, which they will do only if they are enthusiastic supporters of the COIN campaign and feel largely safe from retaliation by the insurgents. When these conditions are met, the counterinsurgents enjoy a massive advantage in intelligence making the further eradication of the insurgents easy, and almost an afterthought.

In addition, the COIN forces use these "safe zones" to train indigenous forces who can assist them in subsequent security operations. Once this base of operations is truly secure and can be maintained by local indigenous forces, the COIN forces then spread their control to additional parts of the country, performing the same set of steps as they did in the original area.

Dr. Krepinevich describes this set of interlocking features as follows: After the army has driven off or killed the main guerrilla forces, its units must remain in the area while local paramilitary forces are created and the influence of the police force is reestablished. The paramilitary forces should be drawn from among the inhabitants of the area and trained in counterinsurgency operations such as small-unit patrolling, night operations, and the ambush. Resurrection of the local police force is equally important. Properly trained, the police can make an invaluable contribution to the defeat of the insurgents by weeding out the political infrastructure, thus preventing the reemergence of the insurgent movement once the army departs. Thus, if the paramilitary forces can perform the local security mission, and if the police can extinguish the embers of the insurgent movement through suppression of its infrastructure, the people will begin to feel secure enough to provide these forces with information on the movements of local guerrilla forces and on the individuals who make up the cells of the insurgent movement. But before any of this can occur, it is necessary for the government's main-force army units to demonstrate that they will remain in the newly cleared area until such time as the people are capable of assuming the bulk of the responsibility for their own defense. Should the army depart the area before the paramilitary units and the police force are capable of effective operation, it will have accomplished nothing. The insurgent infrastructure will quickly reemerge from hiding, and the guerrillas will return to reassert their control. The temporary control reestablished by the government must be followed by the implementation of measures designed to achieve permanent control. Thus, the counterinsurgent must direct his efforts, not toward seeking combat with the insurgent's guerrilla forces, but at the insurgent political infrastructure, which is the foundation of successful insurgency warfare. Keep the guerrilla bands at arm's length from the people and destroy their eyes and ears -- the infrastructure -- and you can win.\1\ -

The key, as Krepinevich and every other expert on counterinsurgency operations observes, is to start by securing the population and providing them with material incentives, in the form of real security and a thriving economy, that will cause them to reject the insurgency and support the COIN campaign. This is why a COIN strategy is best understood as a strategy of reinforcing success, because the counterinsurgents concentrate their forces where their support is strongest, and where they therefore can do the most good.

Instead, the approach we are employing in Iraq -- concentrating our forces in Iraq's western provinces where the insurgents are thickest and support for reconstruction weakest -- means reinforcing failure. Such an approach has repeatedly resulted in failures in guerrilla warfare throughout history. Our efforts to "take the fight to the enemy" and mount offensive sweep operations designed to kill insurgents and eliminate their strongholds have failed to even dent the insurgency so far, and likely will continue to do so, as was the case in Vietnam and other lost guerrilla wars. Here is Dr. Krepinevich on the false promise of hunting guerrillas: Should government forces attempt to defeat the insurgency through the destruction of guerrilla forces in quasi- conventional battles, they will play into the hands of the insurgent forces. Insurgent casualties suffered under these circumstances will rarely be debilitating for the insurgents. First, the insurgents have no need to engage the government forces -- they are not fighting to hold territory. Second, as long as the government forces are out seeking battle with the guerrilla units, the insurgents are not forced to maintain access to the people. Therefore, the initiative remains with the guerrillas -- they can "set" their own level of casualties (probably just enough to keep the government forces out seeking the elusive big battles), thus rendering ineffective all efforts by the counterinsurgent to win a traditional military victory. As a result of these circumstances, the conventional forces of the government's army must be reoriented away from destroying enemy forces toward asserting government control over the population and winning its support. Government forces should be organized primarily around light infantry units, particularly in phases 1 and 2 of the insurgency. These forces must be ground-mobile in order to patrol intensively in and around populated areas, keeping guerrilla bands off guard and away from the people. The counterinsurgent must eliminate the tendency fostered by conventional doctrine, to cluster his forces in large units. Only when the insurgency moves into phase 3 will the need for substantial numbers of main-force conventional units arise. Winning the hearts and minds of the people is as desirable for the government as it is for the insurgent. This objective can only be realized, however, after control of the population is effected and their security provided for. Developing popular support often involves political participation -- at least on the local level; public works -- irrigation ditches, dams, wells; and social reform -- land reform, religious toleration, access to schools. These actions are designed to preempt the insurgent's cause, as, for example, land reform in the Philippines during the Huk rebellion . . . Nevertheless, even though the attempts to co-opt the insurgents may prove successful in winning the hearts of the people, they will be for naught unless the government provides the security necessary to free the people from the fear of insurgent retribution should they openly support the government.\3\ -

Moreover, the tactics of our offensive operations have contributed to the alienation of the Sunni tribal community, driving many otherwise agnostic Iraqis into the arms of the insurgents. Many American units continue to see the targets of their raids as enemies and treat them as such -- invariably turning them and their neighbors into enemies regardless of their feelings beforehand. Often, the priority American formations place on force protection comes at the expense of the larger mission -- the safety, psychological disposition, and dignity of Iraqis. Busting down doors, ordering families down on the floor, holding them down with the sole of a boot, searching women in the presence of men, waiving around weapons, ransacking rooms or whole houses, and confiscating weapons all come with a price. Because too much of the intelligence that the United States is relying on is poor, it is not a rare occurrence that houses raided turn out to be innocuous. In some cases, the wanted personnel may have been there at some point and fled, but in others no one in the house was guilty at all. Indeed, too often, U.S. Forces are directed to raid a house or arrest a person by someone else who simply has a grudge against them and turns them in to the Americans as an insurgent to settle a personal score.

An example of both the potential of true counterinsurgency operations and the danger of refusing to employ them can be found in the experience of the Iraqi town of Fallujah. Until the fall of 2004, Fallujah was a major insurgent stronghold. The town was then taken by U.S. Forces in a full-scale conventional assault in which, American commanders touted as major victories both the number of insurgents killed and the psychological gains of taking this stronghold from the enemy. However, within just a few months, the insurgents had reemerged with no noticeable impact on their operations or lethality. On the other hand, unlike many other towns in the Sunni triangle, a fair number of American and Iraqi Forces remained in Fallujah after the assault, providing it with greater security than in most neighboring towns, but not as much as was the case immediately after the assault when large numbers of American ground troops were present. Likewise, the United States and the Iraqis did begin to pump resources into the city, and reached out to local shaykhs to try to form a new political process, and to give local residents an incentive to participate in the national political process. As a result, Fallujah has been a modest success story. However, because promised funds have not been forthcoming, because the Marines in Fallujah are spread thinly and the Iraqi Forces are not indigenous -- and are often Shi'a -- the insurgency has begun to make a come back in Fallujah.

Thus Fallujah demonstrates what a successful approach might look like, but only if it is handled properly. And unfortunately, Fallujah is more the exception than the rule. Elsewhere in Iraq, U.S. Forces clear the areas without staying in force, without leaving behind indigenous security forces willing and able to secure the area, and so without leaving the kind of security environment that would make it possible to try to revive either the local economy or the local political process.

Southern Iraq and the persistent popularity of Muqtada as-Sadr -- and other, similar figures -- is another example of the problems created by our current security strategy. The predominantly Shi'i southeast of Iraq is overwhelmingly supportive of reconstruction, yet we find growing frustration with reconstruction, the United States, and the transitional Iraqi Government throughout that community. Why? Because the people are still plagued by organized and random crime, which makes their economic life difficult, keeps unemployment high and incomes low, contributes to frequent power outages and gasoline shortages, and prevents the restoration of clean water and sanitation, among other problems. This frustration, allowed to fester over time, is driving Iraqis into the arms of the Muqtada as-Sadr's of Iraq, whose message is a simple one: The Americans are either unwilling or unable to provide you with the basic necessities of life, but we can. They employ the model that Hizballah and Hamas have used to such success, providing tangible, material benefits in return for support. This is exactly what Muqtada as-Sadr provides the residents of Sadr City and what other shaykhs, alims, and other would-be potentates provide other Iraqis in different parts of the country.

This is a disastrous course that could push Iraq into fragmentation and civil war. It is already convincing any number of groups -- and not just the Kurds -- that they should pursue autonomy from the central government, which is increasingly seen as out of touch, corrupt, and wholly focused on its own (irrelevant) squabbles over power.

Mr. Chairman, this analysis leads me to the conclusion that the United States must dramatically reorient our strategy for securing Iraq. We must adopt a true counterinsurgency strategy, of the traditional "spreading oil stain" variety. We must simultaneously recognize that even if we do so, securing Iraq is going to take a very long time. In this respect, I was heartened to hear Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld acknowledge that success in Iraq would likely require over a decade. He is surely right, but he is only likely to be right if the United States adopts the right strategy to do so.

Painted in broad brush strokes, a true counterinsurgency strategy for Iraq would focus on securing enclaves -- Kurdistan, much of southeastern Iraq, Baghdad, and a number of other major urban centers, along with the oilfields and some other vital economic facilities -- while, initially, leaving much of the countryside to the insurgents. The coalition would consolidate its security forces within those enclaves, thereby greatly improving the ratio of security personnel to civilians, and allowing a major effort to secure these enclaves to allow local economic and political development at a microlevel. The coalition would likewise redirect its political efforts and economic resources solely into the secured enclaves -- both to ensure that they prosper and because those would be the only areas where it would be worth investing in the short run. Such a strategy might, therefore, mean foregoing such things as national elections or rebuilding the entire power grid, because they might be impossible in a situation where the coalition forces had abdicated control over large areas of the country.

The concentrated security focus should allow local economic and political developments to make meaningful progress, which in turn should turn around public opinion within the enclaves -- making the Iraqis living in the enclaves more willing to support the reconstruction effort and, hopefully, making those Iraqis outside the enclaves more desirous of experiencing the same benefits.

Once these enclaves were secured, and as additional Iraqi security forces were trained or foreign forces brought in, they would be slowly expanded to include additional communities -- hence the metaphor of the spreading oil stain. In every case, the coalition would focus the same security, political, and economic resources on each new community brought into the pacified zone. If implemented properly, a true counterinsurgency approach can succeed in winning back the entire country. However, it means ceding control over swathes of it at first and taking some time before Iraq will be seen as a stable, unified, pluralist state. Nevertheless, it may be the only option open to us if, as is the case at present, the U.S.-led coalition cannot control large parts of the country and cannot keep the peace in those areas where it does operate.

At a more tactical level, a true COIN campaign in Iraq would make securing the Iraqi people its highest priority. American Forces in Iraq, unfortunately remain preoccupied with force protection and with tracking down the insurgents who are attacking them, and as a result they are providing little security to the Iraqi people. U.S. Forces generally remain penned up in formidable cantonments. They are cut off from the populace and have little interaction with them. In the field, they come out to attend to logistical needs and to conduct raids against suspected insurgents. In the cities, they generally come out only to make infrequent patrols -- which are virtually always conducted mounted in Bradley fighting vehicles or HMMWVs -- the ubiquitous "Humvees" or "Hummers" -- at speeds of 30-50 kms per hour. Indeed, prior to the January elections, American Forces did -- temporarily -- engage in foot patrols in cities like Mosul and the result was an immediate, but equally temporary, increase in morale and support for the U.S. presence.

It is a constant -- and fully justified -- complaint of Iraqis that the Americans have no presence and make no effort to stop street crime or the attacks on them by the insurgents. Many British officers, and some Americans, too, argue that the United States should instead be employing the kind of foot patrols backed by helicopters and/or vehicles that the British Army learned to use in Northern Ireland, and that all NATO Forces eventually employed in the Balkans. This is the only way that American Forces can get out, reassure the Iraqi civilians, find out from them where the troublemakers are, and respond to their problems.

Adopting a true counterinsurgency strategy, coupled with its attendant tactics such as guarding population centers and key infrastructure, foot patrols, presence, and the eradication of crime and attacks on Iraqis would doubtless expose U.S. personnel to greater risks. However, they are absolutely necessary if reconstruction is to succeed in Iraq. There is no question that force protection must always be an issue of concern to any American commander, but it cannot be the determining principle of U.S. operations. American military forces are in Iraq because the reconstruction of that country is critical to the stability of the Persian Gulf and a vital interest of the United States. In their current mode of operations, our troops are neither safe nor are they accomplishing their most important mission. Consequently, executing that mission must become the highest concern of U.S. military commanders, and their current strategy -- focusing on force protection and offensive operations against the insurgents -- is misguided. If it does not change, the reconstruction may fail outright and all of the sacrifices of the American people and our service men and women will have been for nothing.

Option 2: Could the United States successfully press its allies to increase aid and provide manpower to protect Iraq's borders and prevent foreign infiltration? Mr. Chairman, at some level the answer to this second question is undoubtedly, "yes," but I do not see it as an "option" that would solve our problems in Iraq. At best, it might help ameliorate our current problems, but no more.

Given how little Iraq's neighbors seem to be doing to arrest the steady flow of Salafi jihadists, Sunni tribesmen, and others into the country, it is unexceptionable to suggest that they could not be doing more than they currently are.

Syria is the country that we have focused our attention on, although it is hardly the case that they are the only problem, or probably even the major source of the problem. Many U.S. and foreign intelligence analysts believe that far more foreign fighters are infiltrating into Iraq through Saudi Arabia. I have little faith in technical fixes to the problem of infiltration across the long Syrian border, simply because it is so long and long borders are notoriously difficult to seal -- our own problems with Mexico being an obvious case in point. Many Sunni tribes span the Iraq-Syria border and there is considerable trade.

Certainly, a political solution might persuade the Syrians to do more to police the border, but our expectations should remain modest here as well. Should we wish to try, I see only a policy of real carrots and real sticks as having any real likelihood of success. The Syrians need to have positive incentives to cooperate and see real threats if they do not. However, we must keep our hopes for such a policy in check. Syria's handling of its border is part of the larger issue of Syrian relations with the United States that remains very much undecided in Syria right now. Indeed, it may be necessary to craft a much broader set of carrots and sticks with Syria designed to get at the whole range of United States-Syrian differences if we are to have any real prospect of success. The Syrian regime is deeply divided over its course, particularly with regard to its relations with the United States. Until Damascus decides what kind of country it wants to rule, and what its relationship to the region and the world should be, it is unlikely to make major changes on any piece of its foreign policy, especially as one as tightly bound to that broader set of issues as its relationship with Iraq.

Consequently, tackling infiltration across the Syrian border may require a new American policy to Syria, and the Syrians revamping their own broad foreign policy goals. Neither seems likely in the short term.

With regard to infiltration across the Iranian border, the news is both worse and better. Worse because all of the problems related to Syria -- a long border, intermingled populations spanning it, a government divided over its relations with Iraq and the United States, and an inability to isolate its Iraq policy from the overarching question of what kind of country it wants to be -- all go double for Iran. The situation is better, however, because Iran is not the problem when it comes to the Iraqi insurgency. The insurgency is overwhelmingly Sunni and while not everything that Iran is doing in Iraq is helpful to us, they are not providing any significant degree of assistance to the Salafi Jihadists, Sunni tribesmen, former regime officials, and various other groups who comprise the bulk of the insurgency.

Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Turkey are all staunch United States allies and it is likely that more could be accomplished with them, but also not without a price. All four of these countries is wary of American intentions in Iraq, and fearful that whatever our intentions may be, we are not making the kind of effort that will result in a stable Iraq. All four are Sunni Muslim nations with differing degrees of skittishness about the emergence of a Shi'i-led Iraq. On top of this, the Turks have their own longstanding concerns about Kurdish separatism. All four -- but particularly the Saudis -- have been ambivalent at best about slowing the flow of goods and supplies across their border to Iraq. And it is complicated by the fact that there is a portion of Saudi society that actively favors the Sunni "jihad" against the United States and the Shi'a in Iraq.

The governments of all of these countries have not been bashful about their own concerns in Iraq, and their price for greater cooperation is likely to be a straightforward one: A greater say in the reconstruction of Iraq. This is a tricky proposition, but not an unworkable one. Indeed, the solution is probably overdue.

The United States and the new Iraqi transitional government should convene a contact group consisting of all of Iraq's neighbors -- including Iran and Syria. This group would meet frequently and regularly to receive information about reconstruction issues important to them, and to provide advice both to the Iraqis and to the United States regarding developments inside Iraq. The function of the contact group should be purely advisory -- neither we nor the Iraqis should be bound by its recommendations but that advice should not be ignored lightly either. In a great many cases, simply tempering a policy to make it more palatable to Iraq's neighbors, or merely acknowledging their concerns and providing a full explanation of why their recommendation will not be the one adopted, can make a considerable difference. In return for their expanded role, all of the neighbors should be presented with detailed, and concrete plans for stemming illegal traffic across their borders and theft membership in the contact group can be made conditional upon their meeting these criterion.

Unfortunately, Mr. Chairman, none of these measures is likely to have more than an indirect impact on the success or failure of reconstruction in Iraq. As noted in my response to Option 1, the insurgency is only one of our problems in Iraq, and the insurgency is not principally driven by external factors.

Our intelligence regarding Iraq has consistently established that foreign fighters comprise only a small percentage of the insurgents in Iraq. What's more, anecdotal reporting suggests that foreign-born jihadists are playing a less important role in the insurgency. Early on in the conflict, the foreigners brought with them critical know-how in terrorist and guerrilla operations that the Iraqis largely lacked. However, today, more than 2 years after the fall of Baghdad, the Iraqis have learned what they need to know and so are much less reliant on the foreigners for training. Likewise, while it was once the case that suicide bombings in Iraq seemed to be the exclusive purview of the foreign-born jihadists who came to Iraq to martyr themselves, this is no longer the case. The evidence is sparse, but it does seem to be the case that a growing percentage of suicide attacks are being carried out by Iraqis themselves.

Thus, even if you could somehow hermetically seal Iraq's borders, doing so would be unlikely to extinguish the insurgency, nor would the elimination of the insurgency solve all of Iraq's problems. The best intelligence indicates that the bulk of the insurgency is drawn from Iraq's Sunni tribal population, a great many of whom were recruited for Saddam's Republican Guard and Special Republican Guard, the Fidayin, and other key security forces. They have lost their prestige and their paychecks; they have been dispossessed by a society they once ruled; and they are fearful that we intend to put the Shi'a and the Kurds into the same position of authority their community once occupied -- and that they will be oppressed in the same manner that they once oppressed the Shi'a and the Kurds. Thus there are plenty of Iraqis fighting us out of fear and a lack of anything else to do.

As I have argued elsewhere, there are much better ways to make major dents in the insurgency. One method would be to allow the Iraqi economy to revive in a manner that it so far has not. Many of Iraq's angry young men would probably be quite a bit less angry if they had jobs, steady sources of income, and all of the benefits that come with it.

Another approach would be to effectively buy off the Sunni shaykhs. Although our intelligence remains sketchy, it is clear that an important element of our problems with the insurgency comes from the active participation or passive acceptance by a huge range of Sunni shaykhs. In some cases, they appear to be ordering the young men under their authority to take up arms against the United States and the new regime because they feel politically and economically excluded from it, and they are well aware of the corruption of the new government, and probably exaggerate it to themselves, because they do fear a Shi'ite dictatorship, and because no one is paying them not to. In other cases, they simply make no effort to stop their tribesmen and followers from participating because they have no incentive to do so.

However, for centuries, if not millennia, the central government in Baghdad successfully paid these shaykhs to cooperate with the regime rather than fighting against it. This seems unpalatable to American ears, but it is part of Iraq's societal traditions. The tribes of the west and south were never fully under central government control and would often fight against it or simply ignore its efforts at law and order unless they were paid not to do so. But in return for such payments -- which could come in the form of government contracts, infrastructure development, and other forms of aid, not just cash -- the shaykhs generally were quite content to avoid attacks on the goverment and even to keep order in those areas effectively beyond Baghdad's control.

In the 20th century, the shaykhs were often paid not to attack and even to police the roads, bridges, power lines, and pipelines the insurgency currently targets. At times when relations between the shaykhs and Baghdad soured, attacks on this infrastructure invariably increased.

Moreover, the shaykhs have shown a willingness to "do business" with a wide range of governments in Baghdad: The Ottomans, the British- backed monarchy, various Iraqi military dictators, and Saddam's Stalinist regime. Of course, all of these regimes were all Sunni- dominated, at least for their facade, and it does remain to be seen whether they would give such fealty to a Shi'a-led government, but there is every reason to expect that, coupled with an effort to increase Sunni tribal representation in the new government, the Sunni shaykhs would be willing to decrease or even end their support for the insurgency. To a great extent, it would mean giving this key segment of the Sunni community a real stake in the success of the new Iraqi Government -- just as we have talked about doing right from the start -- and doing so in a very tangible way.

Indeed, anecdotal reporting indicates that whenever American military and political personnel have reached out to local Sunni shaykhs, and provided them with material incentives to cooperate, they have been willing to do so, at least on a selective basis. This, too, provides evidence that it should be possible to co-opt many, perhaps most, of the Sunni tribal shaykhs and get them to stop fighting us and instead help us.

Even if we were to successfully find ways to buy off the Sunni tribal shaykhs, we should not expect this to end the insurgency altogether. The Sunni shaykhs probably could convince a significant number of their followers to desist, either by their authority, or by the patronage they would in turn buy among their people with the resources we would be paying them. However, because the insurgency is so diverse, others would likely fight on: The foreign fighters, of course; homegrown Salafi jihadists, of whom there is also a significant number; true regime "dead-enders" who have so much blood on their hands that they could never expect anything but a hangman's noose from a new, democratic Iraqi Government; and a number of others of diverse motives. But it is clear that this would be a greatly diminished cohort from present numbers.

Thus, if you are looking to weaken the insurgency, shutting down Iraq's borders can't hurt, but doing so will be much harder and less likely to have real impact than convincing Iraq's tribal shaykhs to withdraw their support from the insurgency. The first approach assumes that the insurgency is principally a foreign-driven phenomenon, which it unquestionably is not, the latter relies on traditional Iraqi techniques to get at what is largely a homegrown problem.

Option 3: Should the United States reprioritize the training schedule of Iraqi Forces and support more training in other countries? With regard to the specifics of the actual training of various Iraqi security personnel, my understanding is rudimentary at best, but I know of nothing particularly amiss. Instead, let me offer some comments regarding the duration, goals, and location of training.

Without question, longer training schedules are better than shorter ones. Iraq's security forces need to be taught a range of military skills. However, of equal or greater importance, they need to be given the psychological tools to handle their very difficult responsibilities. They need to be integrated into multiethnic formations. They need to be convinced that reconstruction is the best course for Iraq and that their own sacrifices are crucial to the success of reconstruction. They need to believe that what they are doing is of immediate benefit to their country, their people, their sect, their town, and their family. They need to be able to trust their comrades, their American and coalition allies, and themselves. All of that takes a great deal of time.

In addition, even after their formal training is completed, Iraqi units need time to further gel. Unit cohesion needs to be formed in training, but it is inevitably tested by the first operations that a formation undertakes. So, too, with the confidence of Iraqi recruits. So, too, with the leadership skills of their officers. What's more, the process of vetting -- weeding out those unsuited for the tasks at hand, or those working for the enemy -- is a lengthy one, and it is not infrequent for soldiers and officers to do well in training but fail once placed in actual combat situations, especially if the initial test is an extremely challenging one.

For all of these reasons, it is critical that Iraqi units begin their operational tours under the most permissive conditions. They need to crawl before they can walk. This has not always been the case, although Iraqi and American friends tell me that it is increasingly so. If so, this is a very positive development. However, it once again emphasizes the length of the training process and the need to do it right and do it slowly. Nothing will undermine morale across Iraq's security forces -- and undermine Iraqi confidence in reconstruction -- so much as large-scale disintegration of their formations in combat, as was the case when units were rushed into combat in the spring of 2004.

As far as the goals of training are concerned, while we do need some highly capable Iraqi units capable of conducting special forces type missions to help assault insurgent strongholds, of far greater utility will be large numbers of competent and trustworthy Iraqi formations capable of conducting basic protection missions -- patrolling, searches, ambushes, point defense, infrastructure defense, and the like. Again, these are the tasks that are critical to victory in counterinsurgent warfare, as our experiences in Vietnam and elsewhere have repeatedly demonstrated.

As far as the location of training is concerned, I don't think beggars should be choosers. Training forces out of country has positive and negative elements. Obvious positives include greater access to higher caliber trainers and reduced likelihood of attack by insurgents. Another less obvious benefit of such training is that taking a group out of their accustomed environment might change their perspective and encourage the formation of bonds of loyally to one another. Negatives include the distancing of the group from mainstream society and the possibility that the training will be less realistic -- or simply less tailored to the circumstances they will face. In addition, there is the possibility that the population at large will be suspicious of them and may even treat them as foreign "agents."

On the whole, I see these various plusses and minuses as effectively canceling one another out. As a result, I see the key issue as our need to train as many Iraqis as we can, and be able to provide them with the luxury of time and proper training -- not to mention the related issue of proper equipment -- so that they are someday able to shoulder the burden we need them to. If there are countries willing and able to provide such training abroad -- and if not sending Iraqi units or personnel abroad would limit that training -- then so be it. Our need for properly trained Iraqi security forces, in all senses of the words "properly trained," should be decisive given the rough equivalence in the liabilities and incurred compared to the benefits to be derived.

Option 4: Should the President change the force structure of the United States presence in Iraq? Mr. Chairman, I believe that it would be of tremendous benefit for the United States to significantly increase the number of high-caliber foreign troops in Iraq. Ironically, this is vital if the United States sticks with its current approach to security, which I have already described as a "post-conflict stabilization" model; but is only desirable, not necessary, if the United States shifts to a true counterinsurgency strategy.

We simply do not have the troops on hand -- American, allied, or fully capable Iraqi -- to handle the number and extent of the tasks at hand. We do not have the forces available both to provide security in Iraq's populated areas and to suppress the insurgency in western and southern Iraq. In truth, we do not have sufficient troops for either one of those missions independently. As a result, with our current force structure, we can reduce towns in the Sunni triangle, but we cannot secure them long term. Inevitably, the forces needed to take down an insurgent stronghold must move on to the next one, allowing the last to quickly slip back into guerrilla control. This is a classic mistake of counterguerrilla warfare and it is tragic that we are repeating it. Moreover, our focus on trying to come to grips with the insurgents and clear out their strongholds has largely denuded southern and central Iraq's cities of sizable coalition forces, leaving them prey not only to insurgent attacks, but to crime and lawlessness more generally.

If we stick with our current strategy, I see no alternative to a major increase in coalition forces over the next 2-3 years, probably on the order of 100,000 or more troops, if it is to have any chance of success. At some point, if our training program is allowed to mature, we will have several hundred thousand capable Iraqi security personnel able to take over responsibility for most, if not all, of the security mission. However, we are still several years away from that day, and in the interim, someone will have to make up for that deficit. Given the reluctance of our allies to provide significant numbers of ground troops, only the United States can do so, although providing so many more ground troops for several years to come may necessitate a thorough restructuring of U.S. ground forces more generally.

At the risk of being redundant, let me repeat this point for the sake of clarity: We do not presently have adequate numbers of troops in country to execute the strategy that we have set out for ourselves -- setting aside the question of whether this strategy can succeed at all. As a result, we have provided too little basic security for the bulk of Iraq's population, and have inadequate forces even to suppress the insurgency in western and southern Iraq. Only a massive increase in troop strength -- which the Iraqis will be unable to provide for several years -- is likely to remedy that problem.

Could we simply muddle through with the inadequate forces we have on hand. Perhaps. However, this would be a huge gamble for the United States, Iraq, the region, and perhaps the world. As I noted earlier, there are powerful centripetal forces in Iraq that are gaining influence because of our failure to deal with the various problems of the insurgency and basic insecurity. We may be able to keep them at bay until several years down the road when sufficient Iraqi Forces become available to address these missions. But doing so strikes me as reckless and irresponsible.

Moreover, any objective analyst would have to recognize that the chances of this bet paying off look poor at this time. The Iraqi people are frustrated and growing more so. And it is this frustration that is our greatest threat. Because it is out of frustration with the inability, or unwillingness, of the United States and the transitional Iraqi Government to deliver on basic security -- and the basic services like electricity, gasoline, clean water, and jobs for which basic security is the prerequisite -- that Iraqis are beginning to turn to local shaykhs, alims, and other would-be warlords to provide them what the reconstruction authorities cannot. Thus it seems, at least, equally likely that the current trend will produce a slide toward fragmentation and civil war, as it is that it will allow for muddling through until the Iraqis can handle the security situation by themselves.

Another advantage of adopting a true counterinsurgency strategy, however, is that while it would certainly benefit from the addition of more troops, it is not required. COIN strategies work by building popular support and using that popular support to deny support to the insurgency, as well as to generate indigenous forces capable both of fighting the insurgency and providing protection to ever greater portions of the population. When employed correctly, it is a self- generating and self-sustaining strategy, which it is why it is able to defeat the converse strategy that lies at the heart of any insurgency. The size of the initial commitment of resources principally influences only the length of time that the COIN strategy takes to work. Thus, in theory, one could begin with nothing but a platoon, although starting with such a tiny force pool means that it would take an extraordinarily long time for the COIN strategy to succeed.

In Iraq, we are fortunate to have a very large segment of the population that is at least passively supportive of the goals of reconstruction, as well as a force base of over 150,000 American, Iraqi, and coalition troops. That is a pretty good starting point for a true COIN strategy. It looks even better when one considers that the Kurdish population is fully supportive of reconstruction -- at least in the sense of desiring an end both to the insurgency and to the state of semilawlessness in much of the rest of the country -- and already has the security forces to effectively police their own territory,

With these forces alone and employing a true COIN strategy, the coalition could probably secure much, perhaps all, of southern Iraq with its strongly pro-reconstruction Shi'a and urban Sunni populations. Along with Iraqi Kurdistan, this is a very good start, and suggests a reasonably rapid window of success, perhaps as little as 8-10 years, although probably more like 10-15, because it is the nature of COIN strategies to work slowly. It would be difficult, with only the forces on hand to also secure central Iraq, possibly including Baghdad and some of the key infrastructure of that area like the Bayji oil refinery, as well as roads, power lines, and oil pipelines connecting the north and the south.

An alternative initial pacification effort could include Baghdad, and given its importance to Iraq, there is a compelling logic to do so, but in this case, the forces on hand probably could then only secure a more limited number of the Shi'i cities of the south, leaving large chunks of an otherwise supportive population outside of the initial "secure" zone, and possibly driving them into the arms of the opponents of reconstruction. In other words, a true COIN campaign would have difficulty including both Baghdad and all of southeastern Iraq in its initial security zone with only the forces currently on hand.

It is for that reason that even a COIN strategy would greatly benefit from more fully trained forces right from the start. The addition of another 30-50,000 troops might prove sufficient to make it possible to begin the COIN campaign by securing both Baghdad and key sites in central Iraq and nearly all of southeastern Iraq -- in addition to Kurdistan. This is a very preliminary assessment that would require considerable additional planning and analysis, but it does seem likely at first blush.

This would obviously be a far more desirable starting point, since it would mean including both the large Shi'a population of southeastern Iraq as well as the vital capital within the initial "oil stain" of the COIN campaign. Under these circumstances, it might be possible to achieve success within as little as 5-8 years, although 8-10 years still seems more realistic.

Thus, under any circumstances, more first-rate forces in Iraq would be highly desirable, although if we persist with our current strategy, then they are indispensable.

There is one last element of this option that needs to be addressed, and this is the question of whether more U.S. troops will help or hurt the cause of reconstruction. I am wholly of the opinion that, on balance, they will greatly help the cause of reconstruction.

First, it is wrong-headed and perverse to suggest that more American troops in Iraq will simply stimulate more terrorist attacks, either because they will provide more targets or because they will generate more animosity. As for the insurgents, they have repeatedly demonstrated that they oppose not just the United States presence, but the entire project of reconstruction and -- for the Sunnis who comprise the vast bulk of the insurgency -- the ascendance of the Shi'ite majority. The insurgents have committed far more acts of violence against other Iraqis than they have against American Forces. What's more, they have made clear that they believe they are already waging a civil war against the Shi'a, whom the Salafi jihadists regard as apostates and for whom they reserve far greater venom than for infidel Americans.

All of the evidence we have indicates that were U.S. Forces to leave Iraq, the insurgents would be even less restrained and would greatly increase their attacks on the new Iraqi Government, on the Shi'a, on the Kurds, and on anyone else they don't like. If you don't believe me, ask any Iraqi Shi'ite, any Iraqi Kurd, or any Sunni Iraqi who simply wants to lead a normal life; they are terrified of the hard core of the insurgency for this very reason.

Second, it is wrong to simply postulate that Iraqis want the Americans out, and that their resentment of the American presence is a major source of the violence there. Iraqi views about the American presence are very complicated and, at times, contradictory.

As best I can glean, both from public opinion polling and my own contact with Iraqis from across the ethnic and religious spectrum, most Iraqis dislike the U.S. occupation, but they regard it as more than a necessary evil. Because of the fears I have just described, and because they are realistic about the state of their country, the vast majority of Iraqis know that it is vital for American Forces to remain in Iraq for the foreseeable future because the alternative is chaos and civil war. However, Iraqis are deeply frustrated by the course of reconstruction. They are frustrated that 2 years after the fall of Baghdad they still face electricity and gasoline shortages, that much of the country still lacks clean water and sanitation, that unemployment remains so high, and that they still do not feel safe in their own country. This frustration is compounded by their sense that American soldiers go to great lengths to protect themselves and do little to protect them. Indeed, many Iraqis say that our obsession with force protection for our own troops comes at their expense; not only do our force protection measures greatly inconvenience them, but they will argue that these measures actually decrease their own security. For instance, the long lines to get through security check points around American bases become prime targeting grounds for insurgents and criminals.

Often times, this frustration gets expressed -- especially in badly constructed public opinion polls -- by the sentiment that the United States "should just leave Iraq." However, a bit more digging usually reveals the more subtle and, I have found, far more common, opinion among Iraqis that they want us to stay, but they just wish that we were doing more to help them with what really matters to them.

I think it's probably likely that increasing the number of U.S. Forces in Iraq and redeploying them to Iraq's populated areas, and to guard key infrastructure, would probably be resented by some Iraqis. I think a great many others, however, would feel that it was a move long overdue. Especially if additional American Forces were deployed to provide security for the bulk of Iraq's population, were deployed in mixed formations with Iraqi units, were deployed on regular foot patrols and encouraged to get to know the residents of the neighborhoods in which they were stationed, all of the evidence suggests that Iraqi attitudes would range from grudging acceptance to positive relief.

I just had a terrific session with Congressman Duncan Hunter over on the House Armed Services Committee and was able to remind them that Article I of the Constitution, the lead on shaping and forming our Armed Forces, in particular, lies in the Congress, not in the administration. So I think the resurgence of attention to these issues in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the war on terror is timely and warranted.

Let me also say I am appreciative of the opportunity to appear with Ken Pollack and Tony Cordesman, both of whom have works that I use in my own classes at West Point and I have great respect for their work and their insights.

I have just returned from another periodic visit in support of our joint military commanders, GEN John Abizaid, GEN George Casey, our tactical commander on the ground, LTG John Vines, and a brilliant young officer, LTG Dave Petraeus who, as we have mentioned, has been charged with forming the Iraqi security forces. I do not know of a more talented and determined person we could have put in charge of that effort.

Going directly to the first question at hand, the nature of the counterinsurgency and how well are we doing at it, let me, if I may come into this from a slightly different perspective. It seems to me we finally have a strategy. We went in there with no notion at all except to knock down a million-man active and reserve army. We had no phase two. It was astonishing to me the egregious misjudgments of Secretary Rumsfeld and some of the civilian leadership in the Pentagon. I think they were warned very categorically, and very directly, by many of us prior to that war that we would end up with 26 million people and we had not confronted the coercive security forces of the Saddam regime.

That is, obviously, water under the bridge. I think this brilliant man John Negroponte and John Abizaid, the two of them have crafted a policy, a strategy, which to my astonishment, just having gone in and having compared it to the Jerry Bremer, LTG Rick Sanchez efforts, appears to be gathering momentum.

That strategy, number one, says create a legitimate Iraqi State. Get a constitution, get a referendum, get an election, get the Sunnis back in the political process. I think, collectively, the Sunnis, to my surprise, have decided that they want to get back in control of Iraq, but this time they are going to get back in the political process. I think there is a very high likelihood of political integration of the Sunnis between now and December, although clearly this is high risk and nonlinear political development.

I think the second part of our strategy is build the Iraqi security forces. I think Senator Biden has pointed accurately to some terrific overstatements in the past couple years in which we have kluged together numbers that included oil derrick security guards as being the equivalent of trained military forces.

Having said that, I think this fellow Dave Petraeus, backed up by John Abizaid, our Arabic-speaking, extremely experienced joint commander, I think we have finally got this thing moving in the right direction. I do not know what the right number is; 170,000 on paper -- my gut instinct was there is probably 60,000 or more of them out there right now that actually are armed and determined to create a new Iraqi State. Some parts of Iraq, some parts of Baghdad, they are actually the lead elements. I think the majority of operations now in country have at a minimum Iraqi participation, if not Iraqi lead.

So build the ISF; that is the effort. I hope we focus on that, though, because I consider it grossly underresourced. If we are spending $5 billion a month fighting an active coalition campaign and then you look at the level of effort on creating a 250,000-man force of border patrol, customs agents, police, we are not in the ball game yet in providing the resources we need. We can talk about it more, but I wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed: We ought to be talking about 120 Blackhawk helicopters, about 2,000 up-armored Humvees, about a couple of thousand M-113 up-armored vehicles.

We are not even close to that. We have got these Iraqi kids out there with AKs, badly engineered light trucks, no maintenance system, no logistics system, no command and control. We've got to get serious about it.

The one parallel besides the domestic politics that strikes me as eerily similar to Vietnam is the failure to focus on creating the Iraqi security forces as the dominant aspect of our strategy. Petraeus is saying it, Abizaid is saying it, but are we actually giving them the tools they need to do their job?

Then third, we are doing economic reconstruction. Somebody ought to bring before this hearing, there is a brilliant young engineer, BG Tom Bostic. We are about to give him his second star. The last time I was there the economic reconstruction was a zero. This time around I saw a couple of thousand projects that are painfully under way, corruption being the single biggest threat to the economic reconstruction of Iraq.

Then finally, we are doing counterinsurgency. I would take a slightly different viewpoint than Dr. Pollack. I think the counterinsurgency is the least important aspect of what we are doing. Every Iraqi police battalion, commando battalion, is worth 15 U.S. Army or Marine battalions in downtown Baghdad, Talifar, Ramadi. They can spot somebody who is Syrian. They know things are out of order.

So I think our primary contribution -- the Marines are doing a brilliant job out in Anbar Province doing spoiling attacks and trying to reestablish the border. But I do not think the counterinsurgency piece is actually central to what is going on in Iraq.

I think, essentially, we are so dangerous to screw around with, meaning "we" the United States Armed Forces, the jihadists, a tiny element of that struggle, are now targeting Iraqi police and innocent civilians as opposed to going after a Third Infantry Division platoon in Baghdad.

I would also argue that the massive slaughter of the innocents that these foreign jihadists are carrying out is the least relevant part of the problem. They will not bring down the Iraqi Government. They will not prevent the consolidation of a new political system and they darn sure are not a major threat to the U.S. Armed Forces.

What we have to worry about, it seems to me, is preventing this civil war that is going on now -- that is what we are looking at, is a low-grade civil war -- from spinning out of control, either by lack of wisdom or premature withdrawal. By next summer, in my judgment -- we have got 17 combat brigades there right now -- we will be forced into a drawdown and have 10 brigades or less on the ground by next summer. The Army and Marines are starting to come apart under this overly aggressive foreign policy in terms of the resources we have in national security.

1st -- U.S. Military Forces in Iraq are superb. Our Army-Marine ground combat units with supporting Air and Naval Power are characterized by quality military leadership, solid discipline, high morale, and enormous individual and unit courage. Unit effectiveness is as good as we can get. This is the most competent and battle-wise force in our Nation's history. They are also beautifully cared for by the chain-of-command -- and they know it. (Food, A/C sleeping areas, medical care, mental health care, home leave, phone/e-mail contact with families, personal equipment, individual and unit training, targeted economic incentives in the battle area, visibility of tactical leadership, home station care for their families, access to news information, etc.)

2nd -- The point of the U.S. war effort is to create legitimate and competent Iraqi national, provincial, and municipal governance. We are at a turning point in the coming 6 months. The momentum is now clearly with the Iraqi Government and the coalition security forces. The Sunnis are coming into the political process. They will vote in December. Unlike the Balkans -- the Iraqis want this to succeed. Foreign fighters are an enormously lethal threat to the Iraqi civilian population, the ISF, and coalition forces in that order. However, they will be an increasing political disaster for the insurgency. Over time they are actually adding to the credibility of the emerging Iraqi Government. We should expect to see a dwindling number of competent, suicide capable jihadist. Those who come to Iraq -- will be rapidly killed in Iraq. The picture by next summer will be unfavorable to recruiting foreigners to die in Iraq while attacking fellow Arabs. The initial U.S./U.K. OIF intervention took down a criminal regime and left a nation without an operational state. The transitional Bremer-appointed Iraqi Government created a weak state of waning factions. The January 2005 Iraqi elections created the beginnings of legitimacy and have fostered a supportive political base to create the new Iraqi Security Forces. The August Iraqi Constitutional Referendum and the December- January election and formation of a new government will build the prototype for the evolution of an effective, law-based Iraqi State with a reliable security force. January thru September 2006 will be the peak period of the insurgency -- and the bottom rung of the new Iraq. The positive trend lines following the January 2006 elections, if they continue, will likely permit the withdrawal of substantial U.S. combat forces by late summer of 2006. With 250,000 Iraqi security forces successfully operating in support of a government which includes substantial Sunni participation -- the energy will start rapidly draining out of the insurgency. 3rd -- The Iraqi security forces are now a real and hugely significant factor. LTG Dave Petreaus has done a brilliant job with his supporting trainers. 169,000 Army and police exist in various stages of readiness. They have uniforms, automatic weapons, body armor, some radios, some armor, light trucks, and battalion-level organization. At least 60,000 are courageous Patriots who are actively fighting. By next summer -- 250,000 Iraqi troops and 10 division HQS will be the dominant security factor in Iraq. However, much remains to be done. There is no maintenance or logistics system. There is no national command and control. Corruption is a threat factor of greater long-range danger than the armed insurgency. The insurgents have widely infiltrated the ISF. The ISF desperately needs more effective, long-term NCO and Officer training. Finally, the ISF absolutely must have enough helicopter air mobility -- 120+ Black Hawk UH 60s -- and a substantial number of armored vehicles to lower casualties and give them a competitive edge over the insurgents they will fight. (2,000 up-armor Humvee's, 500 ASVs, and 2,000 M113A3s with add-on armor package.) 4. Top CENTCOM Vulnerabilities

5th -- The loss or constraint of our logistics support bases in Kuwait. Clearly we need constant diplomatic attention and care to this vital ally. If Kuwait became unstable or severely alienated to U.S. military objectives in the region, then our posture in Iraq would be placed in immediate fatal peril.

8th -- Lack of continuity in CENTCOM strategic and operational senior leadership. The CENTCOM military leadership we now have is a collective national treasure. General Abizaid's value to the war effort based on his credibility to U.S. Military Forces -- and ability to communicate and relate to the Iraqi emergent leadership -- cannot be overstated. The combination of a three-star tactical Headquarters (LTG John Vines is the most experienced and effective operational battle leader we have produced in a generation) -- and an in- country four-star strategic commander (GEN George Casey) has improved the situation from the overwhelmed, underresourced Bremer-Sanchez ad-hoc arrangement. LTG Dave Petreaus has done a superb job building the ISF. Relationships are everything in this campaign. We need to lock in our senior team for the coming 24 months. Suggest that the three key U.S./coalition military HQS of Casey-Petreaus-Vines need to stop unit rotation and go to individual replacement rotation. The very senior U.S. military leadership needs their families based in a Kuwait compound with periodic visits authorized. (We did this with General Abrams and his senior leaders during the final phase of Vietnam.) 5. The Enemy Threat

1st -- The Iraqi insurgency threat is enormously more complex than Vietnam. There we faced a single opposing ideology; known enemy leaders; a template enemy organizational structure; an external sanctuary which was vital to the insurgency to bring in fighters, ammunition, resources; and relative security in urban areas under Allied/Vietnamese government control. Iraq is much tougher. The enemy forces in this struggle are principally Sunni irredentists -- but there is also a substantial criminal class determined to murder, rob, kidnap, and create chaos. We also face a small but violent foreign jihadist terrorist element. These terrorists do not depend on foreign sanctuary. They can arm themselves with the incredible mass of munitions and weapons scattered from one end of Iraq to the other. Finally, Iraq is encircled by six bordering nations -- all of whom harbor ill-will for the struggling democratic Iraqi State. 2nd -- On the positive side of the ledger: High Sunni voting turnout and political participation in December will likely set the conditions for the downhill slide of the insurgency. The insurgency can no longer mass against coalition forces with units greater than squad level -- they all get killed in short order by very aggressive U.S./U.K. combat forces. The insurgents have been forced to principally target the weak links -- the Iraqi police and innocent civilians. This will be a counterproductive strategy in the mid-term. It has been forced on them by the effective counterinsurgency operations and information operations of coalition forces. Insurgents now have a reduced capability to attack coalition forces by direct fire: 80 percent (+) of the attacks are carried out with standoff weapons or suicide bombings (mortars, rockets, IEDs). Suicide IED attack is enormously effective. However, it will soon likely become a fragile tool. The jihadists will begin to run short of human bombs. Most are killed or die while carrying out missions which are marginally effective. This must be a prime enemy vulnerability for coalition information warfare operations. We must continue to level with the American people. We still have a 5-year fight facing us in Iraq. 3rd -- The Fallujah Situation: The city has huge symbolic importance throughout Mideast. Unrealistic expectations were raised on how rapidly the coalition could rebuild. The city appears to be an angry disaster. Money doesn't rebuild infrastructure -- bulldozers and workers and cement do. The coalition needs an Iraqi/coalition effort principally executed by military engineers -- and thousands of Iraqi workers -- to rebuild the city. We need a "Pierre L'Enfant" of Fallujah. Police stations are planned but barely started. The train station is mined and the trains do not function. Roads must be paved. We need to eliminate major signs of U.S.-caused war damage, etc. 6. Coalition Public Diplomacy Policy is a Disaster

1st -- The U.S. media is putting the second team in Iraq with some exceptions. Unfortunately, the situation is extremely dangerous for journalists. The working conditions for a reporter are terrible. They cannot travel independently of U.S. military forces without risking abduction or death. In some cases, the press has degraded to reporting based on secondary sources, press briefings which they do not believe, and alarmist video of the aftermath of suicide bombings obtained from Iraqi employees of unknown reliability.

4th -- Military leaders on the ground are talking to people they trust instead of talking to all reporters who command the attention of the American people. (We need to educate and support AP, Reuters, Gannet, Hearst, the Washington Post, the New York Times, etc.) 7. Summary This is the darkness before dawn in the efforts to construct a viable Iraqi State. The enterprise was badly launched -- but we are now well organized and beginning to develop successful momentum. The future outcomes are largely a function of the degree to which Iraqi men and women will overcome fear and step forward to seize the leadership opportunity to create a new future. We face some very difficult days in the coming 2-5 years. In my judgment, if we retain the support of the American people -- we can achieve our objectives of creating a law-based Iraqi State which will be an influencing example on the entire region. A successful outcome would potentially usher in a very dramatically changed environment throughout the Middle East and signal in this region the end of an era of incompetent and corrupt government which fosters frustration and violence on the part of much of the population. It was an honor and a very encouraging experience to visit CENTCOM Forces in Iraq and Kuwait and see the progress achieved by the bravery and dedication of our military forces. The Chairman. Thank you, General.

Senator, let me express my thanks as well to the committee for the opportunity to appear here. Let me also begin with a caution. Some 30 years ago at the collapse of the forces in Vietnam, the ARVN, I was the Director of Intelligence Assessment and I was asked to do an analysis of our intelligence on both the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese and the ARVN.

As part of that assessment, we prepared two chronologies. One was a chronology of all the brilliant ideas we had implemented to try to defeat the North Vietnamese and Vietcong. The other was a chronology of all the brilliant ideas we had to try to train and fix the ARVN forces.

I do not believe there is any classic approach to counterinsurgency. I think people write very interesting classic books about the issue, and it is very easy to put forward suggestions when you are 7,000 miles away -- as long as you do not have to figure out how much time is involved, the disruptive effect on current plans, how many men are involved, what the cost is, whether the end result will be interoperable or standardized, what the political and internal costs are.

In short, I think you need to be very careful about these options, because as long as they are a strategic generalization it can always sound very convincing. The problem is we have a long history of going from generalization to failed practice.

Let me be more specific about the three elements of the option, that is option one. It is not an option; it is two or three very different suggestions. I do not believe that there is any practical chance of creating safe zones. Watching what has happened in Baghdad, in Mosul, and elsewhere, the truth is that to create security simply takes too many men, even in the areas which are relatively stable provinces. As you look at the history of bombings, attacks, and sabotage, the fact is we are talking a vast amount of effort.

I do not believe that we are unpopular because we have failed to secure Iraq. In the Oxford Analytica polls, the early polls of our presence in Iraq, some 67 percent of the Arab Sunnis polled saw the invasion as illegitimate. The figure was roughly 37 percent of Shiites. Well over a third, even then, of Arab Sunnis supported attacks on coalition forces. Then it was 11 percent of the Shiites.

If we are going to deal with these problems, it is going to have to be by pursuing the strategy that General McCaffrey has summarized. It is by creating Iraqi forces, Iraqi politics, and Iraqi governments that can establish security. It is going to have to be a combination of denying the insurgents sanctuaries and areas to operate in and expanding operations in the areas that are threatened. From what I have seen, we also need to recognize that these differ sharply by city and by governorate. This is not something that can be dealt with in terms of generalizations.

I somewhat disagree with the point that Senator Biden has raised. He is perfectly correct in saying that when we talk about 172,000 trained and equipped troops many of these are not combat capable to act on their own. But as we saw during the election, even forces that are not particularly capable in terms of standing on their own can perform useful functions. Out of those, out of the 172,000 today, 63 to 64,000 are regular police, another 30,000 are special security forces, which provide area security in the so-called safe zones. Those units are just becoming ready, and in my written testimony I outline the pattern of readiness.

They will take probably a year at a minimum to reach critical mass and readiness. Yet, they are moving toward that. As they expand and develop capability, they will provide the kind of security in the areas that we can use these forces in while the army units and other units can begin to move into the west.

But I would absolutely agree with General McCaffrey, none of this is going to happen unless there is an inclusive political structure that brings a large number of Sunnis into it, as well as the kind of sticks which make it clear to the Sunni insurgents, who can be persuaded to change their mind, they cannot continue to operate safely and easily and have sanctuaries.

I also would have to say that Fallujah, Ramadi, and the rest, even parts of Baghdad, or for that matter Basra and Mosul, demonstrate that it is not enough to have politics. You also need to have governance. One of the basic problems we have is it is not just the United States which cannot occupy space. Today if Iraqi troops go in, far too often no governance follows them up, or provides a structure of functioning government to supplement the presence of forces. That is critical, because for all of the skills and talent we bring, Americans rote at 6-month, 3-month, 9-month, and 1-year intervals. There is a major shortage of civilians to supplement the U.S. military in civil-military and political areas that I do not believe is correctable. The truth of the matter is not only are we seen as occupiers and crusaders in far too many areas, we simply lack continuity and area expertise. We simply are not there long enough to achieve the kind of effectiveness that only Iraqis can achieve.

Now let me answer two other questions that the committee has asked. Should the coalition attempt to take advantage of divisions within the insurgents, e.g, the Sunni nationalists versus the foreign jihadists? I think this begins with a wrong assumption. Politically it is all very well to blame the most extreme bombings on foreign insurgents. People have said there are no such Iraqi bombings. When I was there people talked about 10 percent as being Iraq. When I then asked how many of these bombings could you really quantify as to what country they came from and who the bombers really were, the fact is we had no basis for making these judgments.

Now, the committee may be able to get more detail in executive session, but we are making, as we have in the past, far too many generalizations about the nature of the insurgency. There is the same filtering process going from the field to the center through to Washington and then into the political structure, that I saw in Vietnam, in Somalia, or for that matter Lebanon.

There has to be much better transmission of the hard data and intelligence and far fewer sweeping generalizations. Having said that, it is not the United States that can take the lead in negotiating between Sunni and Shiite and Kurd. General McCaffrey pointed out -- and I think this is the key -- if Iraq is to work in any form, there must be an Iraqi political structure which is inclusive. We need to give as much effort as we can to helping the Iraqis become inclusive, and then use as much influence as we can to keep them inclusive.

I saw leaders in Iraq committed to inclusiveness, but I saw people under them, Sunnis fearing being purged, Shiites wanting to purge, Kurds wishing to basically separate themselves from the government.

Senator Biden raised the risk of civil war. It is very real. This is a very fragile political structure. I do not believe that the constitution will perform miracles, even if it is passed in a referendum, and I think the political process is going to take as long as making Iraqi forces effective, and it is going to take United States focus on that.

Similarly, when we talk about, can a political solution be reached with the Sunni insurgents and could this lead to Sunni cooperation; yes. But here again, let me say that political inclusiveness is something the Iraqis have to do, and from what I have seen a lot of the reason that Sunnis want to be in the political process. First, they see that the election has put Kurds and Shiites in control of the oil money and the power, and second, they see themselves in an area where, as the less extreme Sunni groups, they are not winning. There is ever more turmoil and uncertainty and instability and they are not secure from United States and Iraqi forces.

Anthony Cordesman
One key issue in answering questions is whether they are the right questions to ask. Let me begin my testimony by stating that the "options" and questions the committee has asked us to address are not necessarily the right options and questions. There are five major reasons why this is the case. First, the questions as presented in the form of the four "options" do not really describe options, and include mixes of different issues and questions. As a result, the answers to each option have to mix positive and negative responses that are not directly connected. In my responses, I have chosen to address each question separately. Second, from a purely military perspective, the committee does not address what may be the most important option, or set of issues, affecting the current U.S. effort in Iraq: Whether the mix of Iraqi military, regular police (those on the street or in stations, in traffic or on highways, and at the borders), and police units (Emergency Response Unit and Special Police; the latter include Special Police Commandos, Public Order Brigades, and the Mechanized Police Brigade) that is gradually coming online in combat-ready form will be effective in replacing coalition forces, how soon this is likely, and what kind of, and when, reductions in U.S. and allied forces will be possible. The coalition may have made serious mistakes in developing Iraqi forces in the past, but a recent trip to Iraq indicates that it is now beginning to have far more success. If current plans are successfully implemented, the total number of Iraqi military, regular police, and police units that can honestly be described as "trained and equipped" should rise from 96,000 in September 2004, and 172,000 today, to 230,000 forces by the end of December 2005, and 270,000 by mid-2006. The December total could be a bit lower due to the extension of the police basic course from 8 to 10 weeks, one of several initiatives to raise the quality of the police and military forces. There will be a good balance of military, regular police, and police units. Plans call for about 85,000 military in the MOD by December, and 145,000 special police and police in the MOI. The 85,000 in the military will include about 83,000 in the army (including the "national" forces originally envisioned, along with the former National Guard; also including combat support, service support and training units). The remaining manpower will include the Special Operations Forces and the Air Force and Navy. About 100,000 of the personnel in the MOI will be station/traffic/patrol police; in addition, nearly 20,000 more will be in the Special Police and the Emergency Response Unit. The remainder covers the Border Forces, the Highway Patrol, and Dignitary Protection. By June 2006, the total number in the Iraqi Security Forces (military, regular police, and police units) will go to approximately 270K, The MOD will have about 90,000, and the MOI will have about 180,000 -- provided that there is no change in the currently planned level of regular police. Included in the numbers of individuals trained and equipped will be significant numbers of combat battalions. In July 2004, just after the Iraqi resumption of sovereignty, neither the Iraqi military nor the Iraqi police had any battalions that could be deployed nationally. Under current plans, the numbers of combat battalions in the MOD will total around 106 by December of this year. On top of this, Iraq will have 35 brigade and 10 division headquarters providing command and control of MOD forces. Of these headquarters elements, some will be relatively mature, but at least a small number of each will still be relatively "young" or inexperienced. In fact, much of the force generation effort will have shifted to giving Iraqi combat forces the combat support and combat service support units they need. By December, Iraq will have fielded four Motorized Transportation Regiments (working on the goal of one per division). Iraq will also have generated six bomb disposal companies (with the goal of one per division). In addition, nearly 70 Headquarters and Service Companies will have been generated (although some equipment shortages will remain). The goal for these Headquarters and Service Companies is one per battalion. There will be slightly under 30 combat battalions in the police units of the MOI. By June 2006, the numbers of MOD battalions is planned to reach 114. The number of the MOI battalions will remain unchanged, although their training will have been improved through recently initiated advanced programs. Iraqi planning for Strategic Infrastructure Battalions (to protect oil infrastructure initially and possibly other infrastructure later) is not mature enough yet to give a solid estimate of how many of those forces will be available on any given timeline. The MNF is, however, working with the MOD to help "professionalize" the first four or five of these units. Third, the committee has chosen to separate its military options and questions from the need for an overall strategy to deal with Iraq. In practice, the most important options for military success may not involve changes in military forces and tactics. This is a political struggle. No purely military options can substitute for success in creating an effective political structure that is both inclusive and protects the rights of minorities, representing each major ethnic and sectarian faction. No military option can substitute for the creation of effective patterns of governance at the national, regional, and local level -- including the presence of both police and civil authorities, especially a fair judicial system and humanitarian detention facilities. No option based on force can substitute for economic security; dollars are as important as bullets. No American use of force can be decoupled from public diplomacy that convinces Iraqis that the United States and its allies will phase out their presence as Iraqi forces become effective. (Note. -- Careful with this one. Seems to suggest some one-for-one tradeoff as Iraqi forces become effective, coalition forces can go home, but only if the security success has been accompanied by political and economic success.) Fourth, for the same reasons, the committee ignores the most critical weakness in U.S. policy and programs in Iraq that currently affects the prospects for military success. The United States seems to have succeeded in restructuring its effort to create effective Iraqi forces. Senior U.S. officials have pressed the Iraqis hard to create an inclusive political system and there are clear signs of limited success, particularly in the Sunni representation on the Constitution Drafting Committee. Although without any specific timeline, President Bush has said that the United States will eventually withdraw all of its military forces from Iraq, and this, at least, seems to reassure Iraqis that the United States has no intention of permanently occupying Iraq or maintaining military bases. In contrast, much of the U.S. economic aid effort is an incompetent and ineffective nightmare. While the reprogramming of aid to meet short-term security needs has served a vital purpose in substituting dollars for bullets, and some projects have been successful, far too much money has been spent and is being spent on U.S.-conceived efforts that pour money into U.S. and foreign contracts, spend that money outside Iraq or on overhead and security, and do not lead Iraq toward effective economic development. This spending has failed to create jobs and investment activity that has a meaningful macroeconomic scale or that will act to meet the needs of key sectors and governorates. The USAID and Department of Defense aid planning and contracting effort is a self-inflicted wound that needs to be replaced by Iraqi planning and management as soon as possible. Finally, the committee's "options" do not address the military problem of shaping Iraqi forces that can affordably deal with both the risk of prolonged low-level terrorism and insurgency, and the need to defend Iraq's borders. This need, for continued coalition aid that goes beyond counterterrorism and counterinsurgency capability cannot be ignored while the present "war" is being won. It is a critical issue with long lead times that must be addressed as soon as possible in terms of shaping mid- and long-term Iraqi force development. Decisions need to be taken about the level of Iraqi forces that the Iraqi budget can actually afford, and U.S. aid and advisory plans to support this effort. These issues were not critical while Iraqi forces were small and light; they are critical as they become large and seek to acquire armor, artillery, aircraft, and ships. Option 1 -- Should the coalition revise its current counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq?

At this point in time, the key issues affecting strategy are not military, but politics, governance, aid, and economics. The United States and the Iraqi Government have largely "cast the die" in military terms, and the issue is not one of strategy as much as finding ways to ensure that the development of Iraqi forces will actually succeed.

The committee's questions under this option do, however, raise important individual issues: Should the coalition and Iraqi security forces create safe zones, and put more emphasis on fighting street crime and organized crime, deemphasizing the hunt for insurgents, so Iraqi economic and political life can take root? Such an approach ignores the fact that Iraqi forces are already being developed into three major components: Military, regular police, and police units. It is true that the fact that insurgents and terrorists can attack almost anywhere in Iraq, even when the coalition and/or Iraqi forces are conducting operations in the border area or in so-called secure areas. Such coalition and Iraqi military and security efforts simply make it harder for them to do so. However, this situation would be much worse if major ongoing efforts were not being made to defeat them directly in the areas where they have the most strength and to deny them sanctuaries. Furthermore, reductions in present counterinsurgency operations outside "safe areas" will tend to cede control to the most extreme and violent groups and make it even harder to include Sunnis in such areas in Iraq's political process and economic development. Should the coalition attempt to take advantage of divisions within the insurgents -- e.g. Sunni nationalists vs. foreign jihadists? The answer is "Yes"; but only as a secondary and supportive endeavor to the efforts made by the Iraqi Government, and with great care to avoid being seen as somehow dictating government actions or still acting as an occupier. This question puts the lead role in the wrong place. The United States should -- and does -- encourage the Iraqi Government to be as inclusive as possible and to bring as many Sunnis into the political process as possible; this should not be a U.S.-led or coalition-led strategy. The coalition may need to make some tactical accommodations with insurgents, but any major negotiations must be led by the Iraqis. Can a political solution be reached with Sunni insurgents, and could this lead to Sunni cooperation in isolating, capturing, or killing the international insurgents? The basic assumption in this question is wrong. Tying Islamic extremist groups in Iraq to foreigners, and to al-Qaeda and Zarqawi, addresses only one part of the threat and ignores the large part -- perhaps the true nature -- of the threat. The most dangerous "international insurgents" can operate in Iraq because they are part of Islamist extremist groups with large Iraqi membership. The key will be to split the more moderate and pragmatic Iraqi Sunni groups from such extremist groups, and give them an incentive to support government operations against such extremist groups or take action on their own. Option 2 -- Could the United States successfully press its allies to increase aid and provide manpower to protect Iraq's borders and prevent foreign infiltration?

The main goal should be to increase the presence of Iraqi forces in securing the border and in providing security to governance in troubled areas. The MNC-I, MNSTC-I, and MOD are already working to help Iraq regain control of its borders in the tough spots (primarily the border with Syria) as soon as possible. This will take time and is already in its early stages. But reconstruction of the border forts in those areas, generation of additional border guards, generation of additional Iraqi Army units, and support for the Ports of Entry (where Department of Homeland Security Border Support Teams are helpful) are all underway.

Border Transition Teams will begin linking up with Iraqi Border Guard units in the weeks ahead as well; they're already in Iraq and completing their final prep. This is a large and complex effort, but it is at least underway and will be very important to reduce the number of foreign suicide bombers and movement of funds/leaders. It will also have major impact on smuggling, which saps some of Iraq's economic power. It will also require additional equipment and technology, such as backscatter x-ray machines (already finding contraband at the Ports of Entry) and the PISCES system (which requires significant database development to be effective in the mid-term).

In contrast, it is unrealistic to think that other coalition members or nations are going to help in the border areas that are really contested as the following answers to the committee's detailed questions indicate: Is there a reasonable prospect that allied or friendly governments would agree to increase their military participation for this purpose, which is perceived as less dangerous than patrolling Iraqi hotspots? The answer is "No." It would take very large forces to make even the slightest difference, and foreign countries are no more likely to deploy troops to remote areas than elsewhere. Moreover, small, isolated deployments would rapidly become targets, while staying in large bases would be pointless. As various coalition partners end their role in Iraq, some say they will be willing to turn their forces from combat to training. This means that it may be realistic to preserve some contributions that are now planned to decline, but it is unrealistic to assume that any such forces would go to "hot" areas on the border. What would the United States have to do to convince allies to participate in this manner? Would this free up significant numbers of U.S. troops for other duties, or would the gains be insignificant? The United States would have to form a "Coalition of the Mercenary" or the "Compelled," and either drag unwilling allies into the mission or pay them off. The savings in U.S. manpower would be negligible at best. The United States would have to provide secure logistic support and rapid deployment capabilities to protect such units. Can foreign infiltration of Iraq be stopped by enhancing border security? Some reductions may be possible, but most infiltrators consist of men, not supplies. Border security and customs posts will remain corrupt, infiltration can shift to different border points, and better covers and documentation will always allow infiltrators to enter the country. Attempts to provide reasonable security at the borders should continue, but the primary battle, in any case, will be inside Iraq and not at the border. If foreign infiltration of Iraq could be stopped or slowed significantly, how much impact would that have on the insurgency? It would have an impact over time, particularly on suicide bombings, but it could just as easily lead to a widening of the attacks on targets outside Iraq. The question may assume that Iraq has become the target of foreign Sunni Islamist extremists. It has not. It is a target, along with many other countries as the fighting in Afghanistan and the rest of Central Asia, infiltration into countries like Saudi Arabia, and the London and Madrid bombings clearly demonstrate. Option 3 -- Should the United States reprioritize the training schedule of Iraqi forces and support more training in other countries?

A detailed analysis of the current MNF-I and MNSTC-I effort to train and equip Iraqi forces is attached, and it is requested that this be included in the record.\1\ It indicates that this effort has been comprehensively reorganized over the course of the last year, that it now includes far better readiness standards and significant allied contributions, and the two main issues to be addressed are providing the full range of civilian advisors needed to supplement the military in training the police forces, and how Iraqi forces should acquire armor and other heavier weaponry over time. -

Progress in unit generation is necessarily much slower than progress in creating trained and equipped individuals. According to some press reports, the Iraqi Army had a total of 81 operating combat battalions by late May 2005, but a new evaluation matrix developed by MNF-I rated only three of those battalions at the top level of readiness and capability. (At the top level of readiness, a unit is capable of independent operations without coalition support). [Bradley Graham, "A Report Card on Iraqi Troops," Washington Post, May 18, 2005, p. A10.] Only one of 26 brigade headquarters had such a rating. However, many other combat battalions were still contributing to the fight, either with some support provided by coalition forces (the second level of readiness) or fighting alongside coalition forces (the third level).

If one included all of the special police battalions, the press reported that the total force had risen from 81 battalions to 101, but the number of battalions rated in the top category of mission capability only rose from 3 to 5. Although the other operating combat battalions were contributing to the counterinsurgency to varying degrees, MNF-I concluded that it needed to make further major increases in the number of U.S. advisory or "transition teams" embedded in Iraqi units and was seeking to deploy rapidly 2,500 more soldiers by mid-June.

Coalition leaders are concerned that detailed reports on the ranking of Iraqi forces will be used by insurgents to focus attacks on weaker units, but coalition experts summarized the status of Iraqi forces in mid-June as follows: No special police units and less than a handful of army units were rated "fully capable" of independent counterinsurgency operations. Some 40 percent of the special police units and 20 percent of army units were rated capable of leading operations with coalition support. Some 40 percent of the special police units and 45 percent of army units were rated capable of conducting counterinsurgency operations when "fighting alongside" coalition units. Less than 10 percent of the special police units and 20 percent of army units were rated as "forming" or incapable of conducting counterinsurgency operations.

Put differently, more than 60 Iraqi Army combat battalions could then perform a counterinsurgency role when operating with coalition forces; more than 20 combat battalions were capable of counterinsurgency operations, but needed some specific coalition support to do so. In the case of special police forces -- which included the Public Order Brigades, the Mechanized Police Brigade, and the Special Police Commando Brigades, there were roughly 27 battalions authorized and 14 actually operational, all of them either fighting alongside or with coalition support. A long way from a perfect force, but a vast improvement over a single active battalion in July 2004.

Looking toward the future, the focus of Iraqi and MNF efforts has clearly shifted from force formation to force effectiveness, and the MNSTC-I goal is to "graduate" most remaining units from basic/small unit training at Level 3 ("Fighting Alongside" coalition forces). Their progression to Level 2 or Level 1 will follow on varying timelines. Some "graduated" units may still be assessed as Level 4 (Forming), but they should be the exception. Are Iraqi troops being deployed before they are ready in an attempt to demonstrate progress? This may have been the case through the spring of 2004. It no longer seems to be an issue. As is noted above, far better readiness and training standards are being applied. Should there be a more gradual training schedule to allow Iraqi units to develop greater cohesion and capabilities before exposing them to hostilities? Iraqi forces are deployed into more-demanding missions only on the basis of their actual performance, as reflected by their transition readiness assessment. The coalition transition teams that guide them through their initial training and equipping remain with them as they transition to operational status and as they are slowly introduced to more-demanding missions over time. Keeping them in training status would make things worse, not better. Their involvement in appropriate operations will give them needed experience and ensure that leaders and other ranks are competent and active while they build practical cohesion and capability. Should the number of Iraqi security forces be increased by integrating the Badr brigade (an anti-Saddam Shi'a militia group), the Peshmurga (Kurdish forces), or other local militias into the Iraqi Army or National Guard? Would the political ramifications of such integration outweigh the security benefits? The problem lies in the word "integration." If it means properly vetted, fully trained, and dispersed as individuals into a wide range of units to create truly national forces, the answer is "Yes." In the real world, Iraqi forces have been recruiting militia members as individuals for almost a year -- as part of the Transition and Reintegration of Militias program. Success in these endeavors has been mixed. Total dissolution of militias will take time and serious negotiations and will probably be successful only when the political parties see the militias as no longer required because the central government is providing adequate security. MNF-I and the Iraqi Government have avoided bringing militias in as entire elements for very good reasons. The temptation of using militias as an expedient short-term measure to establish control somewhere in Iraq has a major long-range downside. The biggest single challenge to the Iraqi leaders is to get all ethnic groups, political parties, religious sects, etc., to work together as part of the Iraqi State and political processes. This means militias should not be legitimized and that the government should retain the monopoly on the legitimate use of power. There may be a need to find some mission for selected militia units that will ensure they do not become involved in ethnic/ sectarian struggles, but Iraq does not need low-grade ethnic and sectarian forces. It needs effective national forces. Furthermore, not every militia has the goal of remaining a paramilitary force. For example, the Badr Corps (not Brigade) is trying to be known as the Badr Organization and to shed its militia image for a political role. This process may be simply rhetorical, and has certainly not been completed, but offers the possibility of another approach to the problem. Can we increase the number of troops trained in other countries, such as France, Jordan, and Egypt? Or will these countries provide training only if the cost is picked up by the United States? Iraq now has at least 10 major training facilities, the better part of a training brigade, special skill training elements/schools, and countless ranges, shooting houses, and other training facilities -- and they prefer to train their troops at home, as it's cheaper, done by Iraqis, and avoids expensive/dangerous movements. There already are typically well over 3,200 Iraqis out of country in training at any given time. Iraqis are taking advantage of training offers that are fully funded and provide the training they really want and can't do for themselves yet, such as the German training of Iraqi engineer unit cadre and trainers, which now train Iraqis at Tadji in the UAE. They have other individuals all over the world in short and long courses. But the movement of large elements is costly, difficult, and time-consuming to the Iraqis. The United States can always push for additional increases, and might have limited success (probably only token). The end result in terms of problems in interoperability and men simply seeking good foreign assignments might, however, outweigh any benefits. Any apparent cost savings would probably be mythical in the case of Egypt or Jordan; they would end up being paid for by other aspects of U.S. foreign aid. Will we be diverting training assets in Egypt and Jordan that would be better devoted to training Palestinian security forces? The Jordanian training facilities are operating now at essentially full capacity. Egyptian capabilities require on- the-scene study. Should we put more emphasis on training Iraqi military officers in the United States in an effort to create professional military leadership? The MNF-I and MNSTC-I are pushing hard to create lasting institutions in Iraq. These programs are having considerable success acquiring Iraqi instructors, and being tailored to local combat conditions. It is always valuable to train cadres in the United States to ensure that foreign military officers understand U.S. concepts and values, but this seems a doubtful way of having much impact on Iraq's near-term force capabilities. Some limited amounts of training are being accomplished in various elements of the U.S. professional military education and training system, but the effects of such training may not be felt for years.

Anthony Cordesman
If the President has the magic wand necessary to create new forces, and is willing to ignore the impact on our All-Volunteer Force structure of increasing deployments, he should make three immediate changes in the U.S. force posture in Iraq. First, he should deploy far more military specialists in civil-military and counterinsurgency operations with suitable language and area skills. Second, he should extend all tours for the duration so that U.S. troops acquire real operational expertise and establish stable and lasting personal relations with Iraqis. And third, he should supplement the U.S. military with large numbers of skilled and highly motivated civilian counterparts to handle the wide range of civil missions in the field that are now badly undermanned or handled by the U.S. military. U.S. commanders in Iraq have every reason to ask why other agencies do not provide the civilians need to support many types of operations, and "Where is the rest of the U.S. Government?" Do we have the right number and types of troops in Iraq? Unless we can suddenly create far more forces of the kind we need, the number seems adequate. The problem is more force quality than force quantity. As is suggested above, we have serious limitations because we started this war with a global force structure oriented for conventional war. The need for change has been recognized, at least in some quarters. Change, however, takes time, and must be made with caution. The U.S. Army is already reorganizing and serious efforts are underway to create more deployable forces with the necessary training and area and language skills. These, however, will probably take several more years to have a major impact. (Note. -- You really don't answer the question about the number; you do well with the types.) In the short run, should the United States increase the number of troops in Iraq to provide greater security in support of critical political milestones, such as the writing of the Constitution, the October constitutional referendum, and the December 2005 elections? The commander of MNF-I should have this flexibility. There should, however, be a clearly apparent need for such action and one that the Iraqi Government and Iraqis clearly recognize and accept. Significant additional mission-capable Iraqi forces should be available by this fall and winter. Wherever possible, Iraqi forces are what Iraqis should see protecting them. Would an increase in U.S. troops have a discernable impact on security? The problem with this question is that it ignores the quality, expertise, and motivation of the U.S. troops involved. Having more highly motivated and expert U.S. troops deployed in areas with limited political visibility and impact would always be desirable. The United States can always surge troops for specific needs by altering rotation rates or using the theater reserve. Short of a magic wand, however, it is not clear where the United States could get enough of the right kind of troops to make a major increase on a long-term basis that would provide major new mission capabilities, or how it could deploy large numbers in time to be effective without seriously affecting the length of deployments and future integrity of an All-Volunteer Force. Would it upset Iraqi public opinion? Or should we begin drawing down some forces based on the presumption that the U.S. troop presence fuels the insurgents and undergirds their propaganda? We need to emphasize Iraqi forces, not U.S. Forces, but we also need to understand that it is the visibility and actions of U.S. Forces, not just numbers, that affect Iraqi resentments. No coalition presence will ever be acceptable to true hardliners, whether they are Sunnis or Shi'ites like Sadr.

My personal priorities and recommendations have already been addressed above, but there are several points that may be worth stressing. If Iraqi military, security, and police forces are to be created at anything like the levels of strength and competence that are required, the United States needs to take -- or reinforce -- the following steps: United States and Coalition Policy Priorities Accept the fact that success in Iraq is dependent on the ability to create effective counterinsurgency forces in the Iraqi police and military forces as soon as possible, and that this is a top priority mission. U.S. and other coalition forces can win every clash and encounter and still decisively lose the war after the war. Make it fully clear to the Iraqi people and the world that the United States and its allies recognize that Iraqis must replace U.S. and coalition forces in "visibility" and eventually take over almost all missions. Keep reiterating that the United States and its key allies will set no deadlines for withdrawal -- or fixed limits on its military effort -- and will support Iraq until it is ready to take over the mission and the insurgents are largely defeated. Fully implement plans to strengthen Iraqi forces with large numbers of U.S. transition teams as soon as possible, but clearly plan to phase out the teams and eliminate Iraqi dependence on them as soon as is practicable. Keep constant pressure on the Iraqi Government to improve its effectiveness at the central, regional, and local level in supporting Iraqi forces and in providing aid and governance efforts that match the deployment and mission priorities of the security and police forces. (This is an area where the rest of the U.S. Government truly needs to help, particularly with developing the ministerial capabilities needed to complement our successes with the military and police.) Push the Iraqi Government toward unified and timely action toward promoting competence and removing incompetent personnel. Make the supporting economic aid effort as relevant to the counterinsurgency campaign as possible, and link it to the development of Iraqi Goverment and security activity effort in the field. The aid effort must become vastly more effective in insurgent and high threat areas. One of the most senior officers pointed out as early as mid-2003 that, "Dollars are more effective than bullets. Physical security is only a prelude to economic security." Take a much harder look at the problems in Iraqi governance at the central, regional, and local level. Force the issue in ensuring suitable Iraqi Government coordination, responsiveness, and action. Tie aid carefully to the reality of Iraqi Government civil efforts to put government in the field and follow up military action with effective governance. Make it clear that the United States and Britain will not maintain post-insurgency bases in Iraq, and that they will stay only as long as the Iraqi Government requests and needs their support. Accept the need for a true partnership with the Iraqis and give them the lead and ability to take command decisions at the national, regional, and local levels as soon as they are ready. Make nation building real. Some work already being done with this with the Provincial Support Teams and the Provincial Reconstruction and Development Councils. Accept the reality that the United States cannot find proxies to do its work for it. NATO may provide helpful aid in training, but will not provide major aid or training on the required scale. Other countries may provide politically useful contingents, but United States, British, and Iraqi forces must take all major action. Continue efforts to build coalition support, but don't provoke needless confrontations with allies or other countries over levels of troops and training aid that the United States simply will not get. Concentrate on the mission at hand. [For a discussion of the futility of placing too much emphasis on NATO, see "NATO Fails to Agree on Iraq Training Mission," Washington Post, July 29, 2004, p. A18.] Priorities for Iraqi Force Development Continue pressure on the government to be as inclusive as possible in every activity, to find some inclusive and federal approach to draft the new Constitution, to keep the Iraqi forces and civil service "national" and avoid purges of any kind, and do everything possible to avoid the risk of escalating to civil war. Prepare and execute a transition plan to help the new Iraqi Government that emerged out of the January 30, 2005, elections understand the true security priorities in the country, and ensure it acts as effectively as possible in developing effective governance and efforts to create Iraqi forces. Create an effective transition plan for the December 2005 elections. Resist U.S. and Iraqi Government efforts to rush force development in ways that emphasize quantity over quality, and continue the focus on leadership, creating effective units, and ensuring that training and equipment are adequate to the task. Continue efforts to ensure that the ethnic and religious makeup of all facets of the Iraqi military and security forces are ethnically and religiously diverse to prevent any one group or religion from feeling persecuted by the rest. Continue the development of Iraqi military and police forces that can stand on their own and largely or fully replace coalition forces as independent units. In particular, continue development of the combat support and combat service support forces that will enable Iraqi operations following the departure of coalition forces, including transportation, supply, military intelligence, military police, etc. Give Iraqi military and police forces the equipment and facilities they need to take on insurgents without U.S. or other support and reinforcement. Ensure that the "defeat" of criminal elements receives high priority. Make creating an effective police and security presence in Iraqi populated areas a critical part of the effort to develop effective governance. Pay careful attention to the integration of the former Iraqi National Guard into the Iraqi Army. Careless integration risks creating a force that is larger, but not effective. This cannot be dealt with by treating the merger simply as a name change. Focus on the importance of political security. Security for both Iraqi governance and Iraqi elections must come as soon and as much as possible from Iraqi forces. Iraqi forces will not be ready to undertake such missions throughout the country through mid-2005 and probably well into 2006, but they are able now to have local and regional impact. Wherever they are operating, they must be given the highest possible visibility in the roles where they are most needed. Careful planning will let them contribute significantly to the success of the constitutional referendum in October and to the full national election at the end of 2005. Create command, communications, and intelligence systems that can tie together the Iraqi, United States, and British efforts, and that will give the new Iraqi Government and forces the capability they need once the United States leaves. Carefully review U.S. military doctrine and guidance in the field to ensure that Iraqi forces get full force protection from U.S. commanders, and suitable support, and that U.S. forces actively work with, and encourage, Iraqi units as they develop and deploy. Further develop the Iraqis' ability to engage in public affairs and strategic communications. Make sure that Iraqi information is briefed by Iraqis, and not by coalition spokesmen. Reexamine the present equipment and facilities program to see if it will give all elements of Iraqi forces the level of weapons, communications, protection, and armor necessary to function effectively in a terrorist/insurgent environment. Ensure a proper match between training, equipment, facilities, and U.S. support in force protection. Encourage the Iraqi Government to provide reporting on Iraqi casualties, and provide U.S. reporting on Iraqi casualties and not simply U.S. and coalition forces. Fully report on the Iraqi as well as the U.S. role in press reports and briefings. Treat the Iraqis as true partners and give their sacrifices the recognition they deserve. Finally, it is not enough to do the right things; the United States must also be seen to do the right things. This means the United States and its allies need to develop not only a comprehensive strategy for Iraq that ties together all of the efforts to improve Iraqi forces described above, but also a strategy that can publicly and convincingly show Iraq, the region, and the world that the United States is committed to the kind of political, economic, and security development that the Iraqi people want and need.

U.S. public diplomacy tends to make broad ideological statements based on American values. It tends to deal in slogans, and be "ethnocentric" to put it mildly. What Iraqis need is something very different. It is confidence that the United States now has plans to respond to what they want. They need to see that the United States is tangibly committed to achieving success in Iraq, and not an "exit strategy" or the kind of continuing presence that serves American and not Iraqi interests.

This means issuing public U.S. plans for continued economic and security aid that clearly give the Iraqi Government decisionmaking authority, and administrative and execution authority wherever possible. It means a commitment to expanding the role of the United Nations and other countries where possible, and to working with key allies in some form of contact group. It also means providing benchmarks and reports on progress that show Iraqis a convincing and honest picture of what the United States had done and is doing; not the kind of shallow "spin" that dominates far too much of what the U.S. Goverment says in public.

Another key to success is to have a public strategy that formally commits the United States in ways that, at least, defuse many of the conspiracy theories that still shape Iraqi public opinion, and the private views of many senior Iraqi officials and officers. The United States can scarcely address every conspiracy theory. Their number is legion and constantly growing. It can and must address the ones that really matter.

Anthony Cordesman
There are three essential elements that U.S. and coalition public diplomacy must have to be convincing: Make it unambiguously clear that the United States fully respects Iraqi sovereignty, and that it will leave if any freely elected Iraqi Government asks it to leave, or alter its role and presence in accordance with Iraqi views. Make it equally clear that the United States has no intention to dominate or exploit any part of the Iraqi economy, and will support Iraq in renovating and expanding its petroleum industry in accordance with Iraqi plans and on the basis of supporting Iraqi exports on a globally competitive basis that maximizes revenues to Iraq. Finally, make it clear that the United States will phase down troops as soon as the Iraqi Government finds this desirable, and will sustain the kind of advisory and aid mission necessary to rebuild Iraqi forces to the point where they can independently defend Iraq, but will not seek permanent military bases in Iraq. This latter point is not a casual issue. Nothing could be worse than trying to maintain bases in a country with Iraq's past and where the people do not want them. Virtually from the start of the U.S. invasion, Iraqis have been deeply concerned about "permanent bases." Yet even some of the most senior Iraqi officials and officers have privately expressed the view that the United States was seeking to create some 4 to 18 such bases. The Chairman. Thank you very much, Dr. Cordesman.

Anthony Cordesman
Let me raise a second area for our discussion, and in this case I am going to ask you, General McCaffrey, for the first comment, then Dr. Cordesman, and then Dr. Pollack. Could the United States successfully press its allies to increase aid and provide manpower to protect Iraq's borders and prevent foreign infiltration? Is there a reasonable prospect that allied or friendly governments would agree to increase their military participation for this purpose, which is perceived as less dangerous than patrolling Iraqi hot spots?

What would the United States have to do to convince allies to participate in this manner, and would this free up significant numbers of U.S. troops for other duties or would the gains be insignificant? Can foreign infiltration of Iraq be stopped by enhancing border security, and if foreign infiltration of Iraq could be stopped or slowed significantly, how much impact would that have ultimately on the insurgency?

Senator, it seems to me there is no question that having allies active, with robust rules of engagement, with strong political backing, who bring their own resources, would be a vital addition to this struggle, certainly to garb ourselves in legitimacy of a broader mandate, to have U.N. support. All of this would be to the good.

I personally believe the misjudgments of the first year, actually, will prevent us ever getting significant support out of any of our major allies -- the Japanese, Western Europe, Latin America. It is just not going to happen. No one in their right mind would step into this mess this late in the game.

I think most of our coalition -- and although I am grateful and respectful of their individual sacrifice, the soldiers on the ground -- I think they bring little to bear on the problem, with the exception of these terrific British forces. The rest of them do not make much impact in the situation. Some of them are a positive drawback. I mean, these -- and I am sympathetic to the Japanese Self-Defense Force problems, but they literally have to be guarded while they are in Iraq.

It is not going to happen. We are just not going to get people to come in and establish security on the borders, or even to put significant training resources into Iraq. Now, I also think that the few hundred people crossing the border, many of them out of Syria, bunches of people coming in out of Iran, massive movement cross-border, intelligence operatives, political operatives, et cetera, and certainly the Saudi border is completely unguarded -- we can attempt to establish an Iraqi border presence. The Marines are doing that right now, trying to put back in all the posts that were rolled up.

But that is not going to stop small determined numbers of people from entering to become jihadists. I also think it's fairly transparent that we do not have, unlike Vietnam, an external enemy who has to move munitions and money and leadership and training bases and sanctuary. That is not what we are dealing with. Poor Iraq may have had 900,000 metric tons of munitions scattered from one end of this country to another. Every farmer now has a hundred 155 artillery shells buried in the back yard. They are all carrying automatic weapons.

So I do not think our problem is external. Our problem is internal. I really endorse, fully endorse, the comments of Dr. Cordesman along those lines.

Now, I would also suggest to you -- and this is sort of a parallel observation -- the foreign jihadists who come to Iraq get killed in Iraq and fairly rapidly. I think many of them find, to their horror, that they came to get war stories to go back to Kuwait or Algeria and find out they have been volunteered to be a human bomb.
