Joe Biden

Chairman Lugar and I welcome this panel. What a distinguished panel to start off our hearings. We're going to have about a week's worth of hearings in preparation for, and following on, the anticipated testimony of General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker, and we really appreciate folks of your stature being willing to come back, time and again, to this committee to give us the benefit of your judgment. And we truly appreciate it.

Joe Biden

Nearly 15 months ago, in January 2007, President Bush announced that he was going to engage in a tactical decision to surge 30,000 additional American forces into Iraq. The following September, when Ambassador Crocker and General Petraeus testified before the Congress, they told us that the surge would start to wind down this spring, at which point they would give the President and the Congress their recommendations for what should come next. And that's the context of the 2 weeks of hearings that we start today in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and for -- and the context for several basic questions that we're going to be asking.

The first of those questions, at least from my perspective, is -- has the surge accomplished its stated goal? Not merely -- "what has the surge accomplished?" -- but "has it accomplished its stated goal?" And the next question, obviously, is, Where do we go from here with the surge? Do we continue it? Do we pause? Do we drawdown to presurge levels? But, much more importantly, where do we go from here? What has it accomplished? And what does it -- does it lead us closer to the stated objective of the President of having a stable -- I'm paraphrasing -- a stable Iraq, not a threat to its neighbors, and not endangered by its neighbors, and not a haven for terror? Does it get us closer to that goal? And if not, why? What do we have to do? And if it does, how much do we have to continue it?

And we also heard, yesterday, from the intelligence community, in a closed session -- Senator Lugar and I have sort of, I guess, informally instituted the notion that we -- in these serious hearings -- and they're all serious, but these matters relating to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, points of real conflict, potential conflict, we -- the whole committee participates, in a closed hearing, with the intelligence community, to give us a context, the most current context that the intelligence community thinks we're operating in. And that's what we began with yesterday, in a closed session; we heard about the security, political, and economic situation in Iraq, and the trend lines in the months ahead, and the new -- it just so happened that, even though the hearings were scheduled, the National Intelligence Estimate for Iraq came out yesterday, and we had an opportunity to thoroughly discuss that with the community.

Joe Biden

And this morning we're going to hear from experts on the military aspects of the surge and what our military mission and posture should be when it ends, or if it should end. At other hearings, we're going to question experts on the political situation in Iraq. Now, I don't mean to so compartmentalize this. I know each of the -- each of our witnesses has the capacity to speak to the political dynamics, as well, and they're welcome to do that. But, we have somewhat artificially divided it today between the military and political aspects of the consequences of the surge.

And then we're going to do what I think is sort of an obligation for us to do, and that is try to imagine a reasonable best-case scenario for what Iraq might look like in the year 2012. I mean, what is the objective here? What are we hoping to accomplish? And what can we do to help us get there? And -- and, I guess, parenthetically -- is it worth it? We'll look at the long-term security assurances the administration has started to negotiate with Baghdad, as well, in these 2 weeks of hearings, to determine whether or not they require congressional approval or they require a rise of the level of a treaty, or are they merely Status of Forces Agreements? It's unclear, at this moment. And we're going to be going into depth on that.

Violence in Iraq has declined significantly from its peak in 2006 and 2007. Many of us in this committee have recently been to Iraq. Our staff has been there extensively and written recent reports, coming back. There's no question, violence is down. And it's no small measure because of the -- our military and the job they did, as they always do with incredible valor and with dispatch. But, these gains are somewhat relative. Violence is back to where it was around 2005. I'm always forced, whenever I say anything about violence being down, my wife looking at me and saying, "Yeah, but how many -- how many are still being killed?" And so, Iraq remains a very dangerous place, and very far from normal.

And there are other factors that have contributed, besides the valor of our military and the planning of General Petraeus, I believe, contributed to a reduction in violence.

First, the Sunni Awakening Movement, which preceded the surge, and which the administration helped sustain -- and I agree with them; it's not a criticism -- by paying monthly stipends to tens of thousands of former insurgents, that has had a major impact on the reduction in the violence.

Second, Sadr's decision to declare -- until last week, and now again -- declare and extend a cease-fire with the Mahdi -- his Mahdi Militia. That cease-fire is looking somewhat tenuous, but, nonetheless, it has played a major role in the reduction in the violence.

And third, and tragically, the massive sectarian cleansing that has left huge parts of Baghdad segregated along sectarian lines, and reduced the opportunities for further displacement and killing, over 4 million people -- a couple of million inside the country, a couple of million outside the country.

And these are three major factors, I believe -- and I'd like the panel to let me know whether they think I'm wrong about that -- that I believe have contributed significantly, beyond -- beyond the valor of our military, to the reduction of violence. But, they're all tenuous. All of these underscore the fragility of the so-called gains that we've achieved, and it highlights that, while the surge may have been a tactical success, it has not yet achieved a strategic purpose, which was to bide time for political accommodation among the Iraqi warring factions. Thus far, that strategy appears to have come up short. Iraqis have passed several laws in recent weeks, but it remains far from clear whether the government will implement those laws in a way that promotes reconciliation, instead of undermining it.

Meanwhile, from my perspective at least in my business, there's no trust within the Iraqi Government in Baghdad, there's no trust of the government by the Iraqi people, and there's no capacity -- there's very little; I shouldn't say "no" -- there's very little capacity on the part of the government to deliver basic security and services.

Assuming the political stalemate continues, the critical military questions remain the same as they were when President Bush announced his surge, 15 months ago. What should be the mission of our Armed Forces? Why are they there? What is the purpose? Should we continue an open-ended commitment with somewhere near 150,000 troops, hoping the Iraqis will eventually resolve their competing visions for the country? Should we continue to interpose ourselves between Sunni and Shia, and seek to create a rough balance of forces, or should we back one side or the other? Should we continue to intervene in the intra-Shia struggle for power? I remember, I think -- I don't want to get him in trouble, but I think I remember talking with General McCaffrey, some time ago, and us both talking about how -- the inevitability of a Shia-on-Shia war.

Joe Biden

I mean, they're -- you know, I went down, a year ago, into Basra, with a British two-star, and we sat there, one of my colleagues said, "Tell me about the insurgency," and the British two-star said, "There is no insurgency down here, Senator," and then he laid out what was going on, which is pretty straightforward. He said -- I think he used the phrase, "The various Shia militia," both well organized, like the Badr Brigade, and hard-scrapple groups that are -- that were coming up -- he said, "They're like vultures, like mafia dons. They're circling the corner, waiting for us to leave, to see who's going to be in control." Yet, no one wanted to hear us talk about the fact that this intramural war -- civil war -- fight was inevitable.

Joe Biden

And so, what should be our posture? Did it make sense for us and the British to go in and essentially pick sides in this one? Their government is in competition with other Shia parties from -- in an upcoming election. Did we do the right thing? Or should we move to a more limited mission, one that focuses on counterterrorism, training, and overwatch, as the British have done in southern Iraq? Or should we withdraw, as the calls are coming a little more clearly -- should we withdraw completely, according to a set timetable? What are the military and strategic implications of each of these missions? What mission can we realistically sustain, and for how long, given the stress of our Armed Forces? At least three of you have extensive experience dealing with the opportunity costs this war is presenting to us. The stress and strain. The Pentagon testified yesterday before the Armed Services Committee, talking about how beleaguered our military is, and how we can't sustain this very much longer. And so, there are some questions I hope this highly respected panel will be willing to address.

General McCaffrey is a former SOUTHCOM commander. He's president of BR McCaffrey Associates, one of the most decorated military people in the -- alive and engaged today, an adjunct professor of international affairs at the United States Military Academy, and, as a measure of his courage and undaunting valor, he actually took on the job of being a drug czar, which is, maybe, almost as difficult as doing anything else. That's where he and I first go to know each other pretty well, and it's a delight to have him here.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I join you in welcoming our distinguished panel to the Foreign Relations Committee this morning. We appreciate, especially, the study that our four witnesses have devoted to Iraq and their willingness to share their thoughts with us today. The Foreign Relations Committee seeks sober assessments of the complex circumstances and policy options that we face with respect to United States involvement in Iraq. We are hopeful that our hearings this week, in advance of the appearance next Tuesday of General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker will illuminate the progress that has been made in Iraq, as well as the barriers to achieving our objectives.

Clearly, conditions on the ground in many areas of Iraq improved during the 6 months since our last hearings. We are grateful for the decline in fatalities among Iraqi citizens and U.S. personnel, and the expansion of security in many regions and neighborhoods.

The violence of the past week is a troubling reminder of the fragility of the security situation in Iraq and the unpredictability of the political rivalries that have made definitive solutions so difficult. Despite security progress, the fundamental questions related to our operations in Iraq remain the same. Namely, will the Iraqi people subordinate sectarian, tribal, and political agendas by sharing power with their rivals? Can a reasonably unified society be achieved despite the extreme fears and resentments incubated during repressive reign of Saddam Hussein and intensified during the last 5 years of bloodletting? Even if most Iraqis do want to live in a unified Iraq, how does this theoretical bloc acquire the political power and courage needed to stare down militia leaders, sectarian strongmen, and criminal gangs, who frequently have employed violence for their own tribal and personal ends? And can the Iraqis solidify a working government that can provide basic government services and be seen as an honest broker?

We have bemoaned the failure of the Baghdad Government to achieve many political benchmarks. The failure of Iraqis to organize themselves for effective governance continues to complicate our mission and impose incredible burdens on our personnel. But, it is not clear that compromises on political and economic power-sharing would result in answers to the fundamental questions just stated. Benchmarks measure only the official actions of Iraqi leaders and the current status of Iraq's political and economic rebuilding effort. They do not measure the degree to which Iraqis intend to pursue factional, tribal, or sectarian agendas over the long term, irrespective of decisions in Baghdad, and they do not measure the impact of regional players, such as Iran, who may work to support or subvert stability in Iraq. They also do not measure the degree to which progress is dependent on current American military operations, which cannot be sustained indefinitely.

The violence during the past week has raised further questions about the Maliki government. Some commentators asserted that operations by Iraqi Security Forces in Basra are a positive demonstration of the government's will and capability to establish order with reduced assistance from the United States. Others claim that in attacking militias loyal to Muqtada al-Sadr, the government of Prime Minister Maliki was operating on a self-interested Shiite faction, trying to weaken a rival prior to provincial elections.

Regardless of one's interpretations, the resulting combat poses risks with the voluntary cease-fire agreements that have been crucial to the reduction in violence during the last several months. This improvement in stability did not result from a top-down process of compromise driven by the government; rather, it came from a bottom-up approach that took advantage of Sunni disillusionment with al-Qaeda forces, the Sadr faction's desire for a cease-fire, and America's willingness to work with and pay local militias to keep order. We need to assess whether these voluntary cease-fires can be solidified or institutionalized over the long term, and whether they can be leveraged in some way to improve governance within Iraq.

For example, can the bottom-up approach contribute to the enforcement of an equitable split in oil revenue? Can it be used to police oil smuggling? Can it provide the type of security that will draw investment to the oil sector? Can it sustain a public bureaucracy capable of managing the civic projects necessary to rebuild the Iraqi economy and to create jobs? If the utility of the bottoms-up approach is limited to temporary gains in security, or if the Baghdad Government cannot be counted upon to be a competent governing entity, then United States strategy must be revised.

As we work on the short-term problems in Iraq, we also have to come to grips with our longer term dilemma there. We face limits imposed by the strains on our volunteer Armed Forces, the economic costs of the war, competing foreign policy priorities, and political divisions in our own country. The status of our military and its ability to continue to recruit and retain talented personnel is especially important as we contemplate options in Iraq.

The outcome in Iraq is extremely important, but U.S. efforts there occur in a broader strategic, economic, and political context. The debate over how much progress we have made in the last year may be less illuminating than determining whether the administration is finally defining a clear political-military strategy, planning for follow-on contingencies, and engaging in robust regional diplomacy.

General McCaffrey [continuing]. Sort of a summary of our Joint Forces Command Working Conference I keynoted a couple of weeks ago, and that's a shorthand way of following the arguments I have been making. I've submitted a sort of an outline of the comments that I would make this morning, if I went through nine assertions on where I think we are.

And let me also, sort of, strike a note of, if I can, complement the two of your opening statements. That says it all. Those are coherent, comprehensive. It asks the right questions. You sort of wonder, "How did we end up in this mess?" given your pretty acute understanding of the situation on the ground.

First of all, there's no question there's some good news here. The best news is, we've got Secretary Bob Gates in the Pentagon, so the tone of the national security debate has gone from irrational and arrogant to one of cooperation. I think Dr. Rice is now empowered to begin using the tools of diplomacy. The people we've got on the ground in Iraq, this Ambassador, Ryan Crocker, is an absolute consummate professional. He's changed the nature of the way we coach-work with the Iraqi factions. Dave Petraeus, the general we put on the ground, I think's a national treasure. I've watched this guy since he was 25. He's probably the most talented person we've had in uniform in the last 40 years, and his tactics have changed the nature of this struggle dramatically. I say "tactics" advisedly. The whole notion of getting out of the base camps into the downtown urban areas, colocating Iraqi police and army, clearly was courageous. It incurred significant casualties. It helped change the nature of the struggle.

And then, finally, I think, we ought to take account -- we've got a fellow there, LTG Jim Dubick, and a pretty good team, now, trying to stand up these Iraqi Security Forces. So, they've gone from the police being uniformed criminal organizations to -- we put all nine national brigades back through retraining, new uniforms, fired eight of the nine brigade commanders; they're starting to get equipment. The Iraqi Army is appearing now in significant numbers. We're just now beginning to build a maintenance system, the medical system, medical evacuation, command and control. We should have done that, clearly, 4 years ago. But, I think that's moving in the right direction.

Now, contrast that, though -- it seems to me -- and I just came out, in December -- that the Maliki government, in a general sense, is completely dysfunction. There isn't a province in Iraq, from the ones that are in Kurdish north, that are economically and politically doing OK, to the incoherent situation in Basra, where a central government holds sway, where electricity, oil production, security, health care -- there's no place in Iraq where that government dominates, at provincial level. And it's not likely to do so. So, Mr. Maliki is one of the few people in Iraq who doesn't have his own militia, and he's not much of a power figure. Hard to know where that's going. He needs provincial elections, a hydrocarbon law. He's got to get consensus from among competing Shia groups. He's got to deal with corruption. That government is incompetent; but, even worse, it's corrupt at a level that it's hard to imagine. And then, finally, he's got to reach out to the Sunnis.

The other thing that's going on is that the Iranians are playing an extremely dangerous role, particularly at this phase, where we still have enormous combat power in Iraq. They are actively arming, equipping, providing belligerent political purpose, providing money, providing out-of-country training to Shia factions. There was some argument, in the past years, they've provided some support to the Sunni insurgency. If they encourage, which I don't believe they are, a general uprising among the Shia, in the next 3 months, we'll be able to deal with it, militarily; it would be a disaster, politically. But, if -- as the months go by, as we withdraw from Iraq -- and withdraw, we will; we'll get down to 15 brigades by July; I assume we'll drop to a lower number by the time the administration leaves office -- we'll actually get in a militarily threatening situation, where these people, the Shia, sit astride our lines of communication back to the gulf. We'll actually be in a risk situation.

Now, it's added to by -- by the way, the other thing, I think it's widely not talked about inside the Beltway -- the other good news we've got is U.S. Armed Forces in country. I mean, I say -- I have to remind people, 34,000 killed and wounded -- a tiny Army and Marine Corps and Special Operations -- some of these kids are on their fourth, or more, combat tour. I just went to a brigade of the 101st -- brigade commander and 400 of his troops were on their fourth year-long deployment. So, we've run this thing to the wall, and they're still out there.

I did a seminar of 39 battalion commanders in Baghdad, and what struck me, listening to them, for a couple or 3 hours, was that -- not that they were such great soldiers, which they are, but that they were the de facto, low-level Government of Iraq. They're trying to do health care and jump-start industry and create women's rights groups and doing call-in radio shows for the mayor to respond to. It was just unbelievable, what these people are doing.

That Army is starting to unravel. And GEN Dick Cody, God bless him, came over here and laid it on the line yesterday. We have a huge retention problem. Mid-career NCOs, our high-IQ, competent, experienced captains, are leaving us. We've got a significant recruiting problem. I'd say, you know, just a general order of magnitude, 10 percent of these kids coming into the Army today shouldn't be in uniform -- non-high-school graduates, Cat-4B, felony arrests, drug use, psychotic medication. We've got a problem. And the problem is multiple deployments to Iraq, where their dad and mom are saying, "Don't you go in, even for the college money. They'll hold you hostage, given stop-loss, for the next 8 years." The Army's starting to unravel.

U.S. air and naval power is not resourced appropriately. Our Air Force is starting to come apart. The Navy's the smallest since pre-World War II. You know, down the line, 15 years from now, when we're trying to do deterrence on the legitimate emergence of the People's Republic of China into the Western Pacific, we'd better have F-22 and modernized naval forces, and a new airlift fleet, or we won't be able to sustain deterrence.

And then, finally, as you look at the Army globally, we're now hugely reliant on contractors. I don't know what the numbers really are -- 120,000 in Iraq, maybe 600 killed, 4,000 wounded. They do our long-haul logistics, our long-haul communications, they maintain all the high-technology equipment. We need to go back and readdress the manpower of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps to decide, Do we really want to be so reliant on these patriotic, hardworking, effective contractors, who, at the same time, aren't uniformed, and, when things really go critical, will not, and cannot, stay with us?

General, when you say -- if I'm -- excuse me for interrupting -- when you say "contractors," you're referring, as well, to personnel who are toting weapons, not just contractors building buildings. You're talking about --

Some of them are egregiously wrong. Some of them, by the way, it's appropriate. I think it's good to have contractors maintaining communications gear and computers in a brigade TOC. That's OK.

Well, you hear a lot of debate about the contractor community. I put in my remarks: Without the contractors, the war grinds to an immediate halt, because we simply can't sustain it without these civilian businesses that are supporting us.

Final note, if you will, is one, really, a point toward the future. Personal viewpoint -- and I say this as a soldier -- there's no political will to sustain the current national security strategy in the United States. Period. It's over. So, we're going to come out of Iraq in the next 2, 3 years, largely. We're going to hope that our internal strategies, the two of you have already articulated, allows a government to form, that we have provincial elections, where there's some legitimacy at lower level, that the Iraqi Security Forces can maintain order, not us. But, out of Iraq, we will come.

And the jury's out on what's going to happen next, in my view. I don't -- I am modestly optimistic. These people are courageous, they're smart, they don't want to be Lebanon or Pol Pot's Cambodia. But, certainly the events of the last week just underscore the chaotic nature inside the three major factions, never mind the current civil war between Shia and Sunni, and the next war that will take place, which will be the struggle between Iraqi Arabs and the Kurdish north. It'll be fought over ground and oil. And that's coming. The question is, Can we buffer that? Can we reduce that outcome?

And, as you mentioned, all of this, of course, is compounded by 4 million refugees and a brain drain. The dentists, the engineers, they're leaving, they're going to Syria, Iran, France. A sensible person gets out of there right now, if they can.

III. Was honored to submit earlier to the committee the briefing slides I used as opening keynote speaker on 19 March 2008 at USJFCOM Joint Operating Environment Workshop here in Washington, DC. These slides summarize my views on the general status of U.S. National Security Policy in the global environment. You may find them helpful as a shorthand summary of my views on the employment of military power in the coming years to defend America.

IV. Purpose of Hearing: "Iraq after the Surge: Military Prospects." Let me offer nine general conclusions. 1. The tactical situation in Iraq is for now enormously improved; casualties to U.S. and Iraqi Security Forces are down dramatically; economic life has improved; 80,000+ CLC members have defused the Sunni insurgency; JSOC has defeated an urban AQI insurgency. 2. We now have brilliant new national security leadership in place: Secretary Bob Gates; GEN Dave Petraeus; Ambassador Ryan Crocker; Temp CENTCOM Commander LTG Marty Dempsey. 3. The Iraqi Security Forces are improving in leadership quality, numbers, and equipment. -- 400,000 total and growing. -- National Police -- fired 8 of 9 brigade commanders -- police retrained. Note: Still no maintenance system, no medical system, no helicopter lift force, no significant armor nor artillery, no attack aviation. Officer leadership very thin on the ground. 4. The Maliki Government is dysfunctional. He must:

Reach out to Sunnis. 5. The Iranians are playing a very dangerous role. They are supporting Iraqi Shia factions with: Money, advisers, training in Iran, EFPs, mortars, rockets, automatic weapons, and belligerence. -- We must open up a multilevel dialog with the Iranians. 6. We have never had in our country's history a more battle- hardened U.S. military force; courage (34,000 killed and wounded), leadership, initiative, intelligence, fires discipline, civic action. Our battalion and company commanders are de facto the low level Government of Iraq. 7. The U.S. Army is starting to unravel.

Need U.S. Marine Corps to provide all diplomatic security above RSO capabilities. Note: Without U.S. contractors and their LN employees, the U.S. global military effort would grind to a halt. -- Total contractor casualties may be 600 killed and 4,000 wounded -- many abducted. -- Contractors run much of our global logistics, long- haul communications, high-technology maintenance, etc.

As U.S. Forces drawdown in coming 36 months -- the jury is out whether Iraq will degenerate into all out civil war with six regional neighbors drawn into the struggle.

Our allies have abandoned us for lack of their own national political support. -- The war as it now is configured -- is not militarily nor politically sustainable.

Last year, I rejected the claim that the surge was a new strategy. Rather, I said it was a new tactic in pursuit of the same old strategic aim: Political stability in Iraq. And I foresaw no serious prospects of success. I see no reason to change my judgment today. The surge is prolonging instability, not creating the conditions for unity, as the President claims.

Last year, as General McCaffrey noted, General Petraeus wisely promised that -- declined to promise that a military solution is possible to this political problem. Now, he said he could lower the level of violence, for a limited time, to allow the Iraqi leaders to strike a deal. Violence has been temporarily reduced, but today there is credible evidence -- little or no evidence that the political situation is improving; in fact, it's the contrary, it's more fragmented. And currently we see the surge of violence in Basra and also in Baghdad. In fact, it remains sporadic, as others have said, throughout other parts of Iraq over the past year, notwithstanding this drop in Baghdad earlier and Anbar province.

More disturbing is Prime Minister Maliki's initiation of a military action, down in Basra, which has dragged the United States forces in against something they didn't approve, to try to do in his competitors, his Shiite competitors. This is a political setback. This is not a political solution. Such is the result of the surge.

No less disturbing has been this violence in Mosul and the tensions, as just mentioned, around Kirkuk over the oil. A showdown there, I think, is -- surely awaits us. The idea, I think, that some kind of federal solution can cut this Gordian Knot is sort of out of touch with the realities, as they are there today.

Also disturbing is Turkey's incursion to destroy PKK terrorist groups inside Kurdistan. That confronted the U.S. Government with a choice either to support its NATO ally or make good on its commitment to secure the Kurdish leaders. It chose the former, and that makes it clear to the Kurds that the United States will sacrifice their interests to its larger interest in Turkey.

Turning to the apparent success in Anbar and a few other Sunni areas, this is not the positive situation it has been reported to be. Clearly, violence has declined, as local Sunni leaders have begun to cooperate with U.S. forces, but the surge tactic cannot be given full credit. The decline started earlier, with Sunni initiatives. What are their motives? First, anger at the al-Qaeda operatives, and, second, their financial plight. Their break with al-Qaeda should give us little comfort. The Sunnis welcomed al-Qaeda precisely because they would help kill Americans.

The concern we hear the President and his aids express, about a residual base left for al-Qaeda if we withdraw, is utter nonsense. The Sunnis will soon destroy al-Qaeda if we leave. The Kurds do not allow them in their region, and the Shiites, like the Iranians, detest al-Qaeda. To understand why, one only need take note of the al-Qaeda diplomacy campaign over the past couple of years on Internet blogs. They implore the United States to bomb and destroy this apostate Shiite regime.

Now, as an aside, just let me comment that it gives me pause to learn that our Vice President, President, and some Members of the Senate are aligned with al-Qaeda on spreading the war to Iraq. Let me emphasize that our new Sunni friends insist on being paid for their loyalty. I've heard of one example, where the rough estimate for the costs in a one -- 100 square kilometers -- that's a 10-by-10-kilometer area -- is $250,000 today to pay these fellows. Now, you might want to find out, when the administration's witnesses come next week, what these total costs add up to and what they're forecasted for in the years ahead. Remember, we do not own these people, we rent them. And they can break the lease at any moment. At the same time, this deal protects them from -- to some degree -- from the government's troops and its police, hardly a sign of reconciliation.

Now let us consider the implications of the proliferating deals with Sunni strongmen. They are far from unified under any single leader. Some remain with al-Qaeda. Many who break and join our forces, are beholden to no one else. Thus, the decline in violence reflects a dispersion of power to dozens of local strongmen who distrust the government and occasionally fight among themselves. Thus, the basic military situation is worse because of the proliferation of armed groups under local military chiefs who follow a proliferating number of political leaders.

This can hardly be called military stability, much less progress toward political consolidation. And to call it fragility that needs more time to become success is to ignore its implications.

At the same time, Prime Minister Maliki's actions last week indicate an even wider political and military fragmentation. We are witnessing what could more accurately be described as the road to Balkanization; that is, political fragmentation in Iraq. We're being asked by the President to believe that this shift of so much power and finance to so many local chiefs is the road to political centralization. He describes this process as state-building from the bottom up.

Now, I challenge you to press the administration's witnesses to explain this absurdity. Ask them to name a single historical case where power has been aggregated from local strongmen to a central government, except through bloody violence in a civil war, leading to the emergence of a single winner, almost -- without exception, a dictator. The history of feudal Europe's transformation to absolute monarchy is this story. It's the story of the American colonization of the West and our Civil War. It took England 800 years to subdue the clan rule on the Scottish-English border. And this is the source of violence in Bosnia and Kosovo today.

How can our leaders celebrate this diffusion of power as effective state-building? More accurately described, it has placed the United States on -- astride several civil wars, not just one, and it allows all sides to consolidate, rearm, refill their financial coffers, at U.S. expense.

To sum up, we face a deteriorating situation, with an overextended Army, so aptly described by General McCaffrey. When the administration's witnesses will come before you, I hope you make them clarify how long the Army and Marines can withstand this Band-Aid strategy.

The only sensible strategy is to withdraw, but with -- in good order. Only that step can break the political paralysis that is gripping United States strategy in the region today.

I want to emphasize this. You can't devise a new strategy -- we cannot change the present unhappy course we're on without first withdrawing. That unfreezes the paralysis and begins to give us choices we don't even see now. Until we get out, we won't even know what they are.

The next step, when we get out, is to choose a new aim: Regional stability, not some meaningless victory in Iraq. And progress toward that goal requires revising our strategy toward Iran. If the President merely renounced his threat of regime change by force, that could prompt Iran to lessen its support for Taliban groups in Afghanistan. Iranians hate Taliban, and they support them only because they will kill Americans there as retaliation in the event we attack Iran.

Iran's policy toward Iraq would also have to change radically as we withdraw. It cannot want instability. Iraq's Shiites are Arabs, and they know Persians look down on them. Cooperation has its limits, and people have tended to exaggerate the future influence of Iran in Iraq. It has real, important limits. Even the factions in the -- that are working in -- among the Shiites today are divided on that issue. No quick retaliation -- reconciliation between the United States and Iran is likely, but steps to make Iran feel more secure could conceivably improve the speed with which we develop some kind of cooperation with them, particularly more speed than a policy calculated to increase their insecurity. The President's policy of insecurity in Iraq has reinforced the Iranian determination to acquire nuclear weapons, the very thing he purports to be trying to prevent.

Now, withdrawal from Iraq does not mean, in my view, withdrawal from the region. It must include realignment of where we are deployed in the area, and reassertion of both our forces and our diplomacy that give us a better chance to improve our situation and reach the goal of regional stability.

I'm prepared to comment more on that in the questions, but I'm going to end here, because I think that answers the question I came up to answer, whether the so-called surge strategy is working.

Prepared Statement of LTG William E. Odom, USA (Ret.), Senior Advisor, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, DC Good morning, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. It is an honor to appear before you again. The last occasion was in January 2007, when the topic was the troop surge. Today you are asking if it has worked.

Last year I rejected the claim that it was a new strategy. Rather, I said, it is a new tactic used to achieve the same old strategic aim: Political stability. And I foresaw no serious prospects for success.

I see no reason to change my judgment now. The surge is prolonging instability, not creating the conditions for unity as the President claims.

Last year, General Petraeus wisely declined to promise a military solution to this political problem, saying that he could lower the level of violence, allowing a limited time for the Iraqi leaders to strike a political deal. Violence has been temporarily reduced but today there is credible evidence that the political situation is far more fragmented. And currently we see violence surge in Baghdad and Basra. In fact, it has also remained sporadic and significant in several other parts of Iraq over the past year, notwithstanding the notable drop in Baghdad and Anbar province.

More disturbing, Prime Minister Maliki has initiated military action and then dragged in U.S. forces to help his own troops destroy his Shiite competitors. This is a political setback, not a political solution. Such is the result of the surge tactic.

No less disturbing has been the steady violence in the Mosul area, and the tensions in Kirkuk between Kurds, Arabs, and Turkomen. A showdown over control of the oil fields there surely awaits us. And the idea that some kind of a federal solution can cut this Gordian knot strikes me as a wild fantasy, wholly out of touch with Kurdish realities.

Also disturbing is Turkey's military incursion to destroy Kurdish PKK groups in the border region. That confronted the U.S. Government with a choice: Either to support its NATO ally, or to make good on its commitment to Kurdish leaders to insure their security. It chose the former, and that makes it clear to the Kurds that the United States will sacrifice their security to its larger interests in Turkey.

Turning to the apparent success in Anbar province and a few other Sunni areas, this is not the positive situation it is purported to be. Certainly violence has declined as local Sunni shieks have begun to cooperate with U.S. forces. But the surge tactic cannot be given full credit. The decline started earlier on Sunni initiative. What are their motives? First, anger at al-Qaeda operatives and second, their financial plight.

Their break with al-Qaeda should give us little comfort. The Sunnis welcomed anyone who would help them kill Americans, including al-Qaeda. The concern we hear the President and his aides express about a residual base left for al-Qaeda if we withdraw is utter nonsense. The Sunnis will soon destroy al-Qaeda if we leave Iraq.

The Kurds do not allow them in their region, and the Shiites, like the Iranians, detest al-Qaeda. To understand why, one need only take note of the al-Qaeda public diplomacy campaign over the past year or so on Internet blogs. They implore the United States to bomb and invade Iran and destroy this apostate Shiite regime.

Let me emphasize that our new Sunni friends insist on being paid for their loyalty. I have heard, for example, a rough estimate that the cost in one area of about 100 square kilometers is $250,000 per day. And periodically they threaten to defect unless their fees are increased. You might want to find out the total costs for these deals forecasted for the next several years, because they are not small and they do not promise to end. Remember, we do not own these people. We merely rent them. And they can break the lease at any moment. At the same time, this deal protects them to some degree from the government's troops and police, hardly a sign of political reconciliation.

Now let us consider the implications of the proliferating deals with the Sunni strongmen. They are far from unified among themselves. Some remain with al-Qaeda. Many who break and join our forces are beholden to no one. Thus the decline in violence reflects a dispersion of power to dozens of local strong men who distrust the government and occasionally fight among themselves. Thus the basic military situation is far worse because of the proliferation of armed groups under local military chiefs who follow a proliferating number of political bosses.

This can hardly be called greater military stability, much less progress toward political consolidation, and to call it fragility that needs more time to become success is to ignore its implications. At the same time, Prime Minister Maliki's military actions in Basra and Baghdad, indicate even wider political and military fragmentation. What we are witnessing is more accurately described as the road to the Balkanization of Iraq, that is, political fragmentation. We are being asked by the President to believe that this shift of so much power and finance to so many local chieftains is the road to political centralization. He describes the process as building the state from the bottom up.

I challenge you to press the administration's witnesses this week to explain this absurdity. Ask them to name a single historical case where power has been aggregated successfully from local strongmen to a central government except through bloody violence leading to a single winner, most often a dictator. That is the history of feudal Europe's transformation to the age of absolute monarchy. It is the story of the American colonization of the West and our Civil War. It took England 800 years to subdue clan rule on what is now the English-Scottish border. And it is the source of violence in Bosnia and Kosovo.

How can our leaders celebrate this diffusion of power as effective state-building? More accurately described, it has placed the United States astride several civil wars. And it allows all sides to consolidate, rearm, and refill their financial coffers at the U.S. expense.

To sum up, we face a deteriorating political situation with an overextended army. When the administration's witnesses appear before you, you should make them clarify how long the Army and Marines can sustain this Band-Aid strategy.

The only sensible strategy is to withdraw rapidly but in good order. Only that step can break the paralysis now gripping U.S. strategy in the region. The next step is to choose a new aim, regional stability, not a meaningless victory in Iraq. And progress toward that goal requires revising our policy toward Iran. If the President merely renounced his threat of regime change by force, that could prompt Iran to lessen its support to Taliban groups in Afghanistan. Iran detests the Taliban and supports them only because they will kill more Americans in Afghanistan as retaliation in event of a U.S. attack on Iran. Iran's policy toward Iraq would also have to change radically as we withdraw. It cannot want instability there. Iraqi Shiites are Arabs, and they know that Persians look down on them. Cooperation between them has its limits.

No quick reconciliation between the United States and Iran is likely, but U.S. steps to make Iran feel more secure make it far more conceivable than a policy calculated to increase its insecurity. The President's policy has reinforced Iran's determination to acquire nuclear weapons, the very thing he purports to be trying to prevent.

Withdrawal from Iraq does not mean withdrawal from the region. It must include a realignment and reassertion of U.S. forces and diplomacy that give us a better chance to achieve our aim.

A number of reasons are given for not withdrawing soon and completely. I have refuted them repeatedly before but they have more lives than a cat. Let me try again to explain why they don't make sense.

First, it is insisted that we must leave behind military training element with no combat forces to secure them. This makes no sense at all. The idea that U.S. military trainers left alone in Iraq can be safe and effective is flatly rejected by several NCOs and junior officers I have heard describe their personal experiences. Moreover, training foreign forces before they have a consolidated political authority to command their loyalty is a windmill tilt. Finally, Iraq is not short on military skills.

Second, it is insisted that chaos will follow our withdrawal. We heard that argument as the "domino theory" in Vietnam. Even so, the path to political stability will be bloody regardless of whether we withdraw or not. The idea that the United States has a moral responsibility to prevent this ignores that reality. We are certainly to blame for it, but we do not have the physical means to prevent it. American leaders who insist that it is in our power to do so are misleading both the public and themselves if they believe it.

The real moral question is whether to risk the lives of more Americans. Unlike preventing chaos, we have the physical means to stop sending more troops where many will be killed or wounded. That is the moral responsibility to our country which no American leaders seem willing to assume.

Third, naysayers insist that our withdrawal will create regional instability. This confuses cause with effect. Our forces in Iraq and our threat to change Iran's regime are making the region unstable. Those who link instability with a U.S. withdrawal have it exactly backward. Our ostrich strategy of keeping our heads buried in the sands of Iraq has done nothing but advance our enemies' interest.

I'm going to take a little bit more of a military-specific view of the situation in Iraq, and talk about what the new strategy might look like from a soldier's perspective.

I don't think anyone doubts that General Petraeus, over the last year, has wrenched some military advantage out of what was about to become a catastrophic defeat; and he did it, not so much by increasing the numbers, to my mind, but by instituting a new strategy that's focused on counterinsurgency. And he's reached what we soldiers sometimes call a "culminating point," which results in a shift in the military advantage. And when all the variables are fixed, a culminating point generally works to the advantage of one side or another. The problem is that, in an insurgency, all the culminating point does is buy you time. And, as we've seen in Vietnam, as a teachable moment, culminating points aren't always military victories, in an insurgency. So, the advantage can be lost if the dynamics in the war change. My concern is that the dynamics will change after the surge. And I guess that's why I'm here today. Because after the surge, and as United States forces begin to wind down, the Iraqis will assume the responsibility for their own defense, and this battlefield advantage that we've won at the cost of over 4,000 dead Americans, is at risk if we fail to manage this transition properly.

First of all, let me say, sir, that very little can be done to change the battlefield dynamics before the surge ends. The counterinsurgency strategy is right, can't be altered. The crucible of patience among the American people, as my two colleagues have just said, is emptying, and is not going to be refilled. Al-Qaeda numbers are small, but, though small, they've remained a fairly constant force in Iraq. It's sort of like a virus that's in recession. They're not going away. And, sadly, and most importantly, I guess, to the future, is that the United States has run out of military options, as well. For the first time since the Civil War, the number of ground soldiers available is determining American policy, rather than policy determining how many soldiers we need. It's a strategy turned on its head.

And I think what's important here is that the arithmetic is telling. Beyond the surge, at best, we can only sustain somewhere between 13-15 brigades without the Army unraveling. Afghanistan will require at least three brigades, and I suspect, gentlemen, as time goes on, that number may grow, sadly. So, that leaves us with no more than 12 brigades for continued service in Iran -- in Iraq over the long term. So, regardless who wins the election, and almost independent of conditions on the ground, by the summer the troops will begin to come home. The only point of contention is how precipitous that withdrawal is going to be. And after the surge, nothing can be done without the ability of the Iraqi military to sustain the security.

So, I would submit to you, as a thesis, that the new center of gravity for the remaining phases of this war will be the establishment of an effective Iraqi national security apparatus. And the question you have for me, I believe, is, Are the Iraqis up to the task? Some signs are encouraging. If you've read the headlines in the last few days, the Iraqi 14th Division deployed to Basra, as you know, to destroy the Shia militias and the criminal gangs there. An Iraqi Motor Transport Brigade moved one national police and three army brigades, on short notice, from Baghdad to Basra, a distance of over 400 miles. Also out of the news, but also of some interest, is that Iraqi Special Forces were transported, some in Iraqi C-130 aircraft, from the northern regions of Iraq to the vicinity of Basra. General McCaffrey talked about logistics. One Iraqi- based support unit, so far at least, has managed to sustain the Basra operation, with some help from American-supplied civilian contractors. But, frankly, problems remain. Some units in the 14th didn't fight well. Sectarian infiltration and desertions are present in that unit. Now, the division hasn't lost its fighting effectiveness or cohesion; that's the good news. This sounds like praise. But, remember, only a year ago, it would have been virtually impossible to pull an Iraqi Army division from one province and move it to another in shape -- with a willingness to fight.

A couple of other encouraging things that we've observed over the last year is that the officer leadership at the small- unit level seems to be improving. And this is kind of a double- edged sword, because the leadership has improved through this Darwinian process of self-selection that allows armies to pick the right people in the crucible of battle. That's the most wasteful way to win: To build an army when it's trying to reform itself while fighting. We had this experience in the American Civil War, where we had to build our Army from scratch during a war, and it's a very painful process. But, the merit- based promotion system on the field of battle seems to be working. The NCOs are the backbone of our Army as many of the veterans on the committee will testify. But, there is no tradition in Iraq for an NCO corps. It's an alien concept to them. But, in the last year or so Iraqi divisions have started to establish schools to try to inculcate the leadership culture, if you will, of the NCO ranks, and that's encouraging.

But, improvements in the Iraqi tactical area are not going to occur without significant American involvement. It's the American military training teams, squad-sized units, that are embedded in Iraqi combat battalions and brigades, that are making the difference.

Another important factor are partnership arrangements between American units on the ground and Iraqi combat units. One of the things we've learned in this war, in the recent years, is that the most powerful tools for transforming an army are emulation and example. Fighting side by side with Iraqis makes the Iraqis fight better. It's wasteful, it's OJT in combat, if you will, but it seems to work.

The third factor is the personal relationships between the Iraqis and the Americans. General McCaffrey talked about battalion commanders and brigade commanders, many of whom I observed in my last trip, who not only are helping to rebuild the country, but are helping to rebuild the army as well.

There will be some serious problems within the Iraqi forces after the surge. Senior leaders and staffs are doing a reasonably good job of moving battalions and brigades from point to point, but their ability to do quality planning and execution, frankly, is very immature. Too often, senior leaders are promoted and selected based on nepotism or tribal and clan loyalty, another very serious problem. Clearly, sectarianism, in many units, still trumps allegiance to the nation. Recently we have seen instances of soldiers deserting, rather than fight against their tribal peers.

General McCaffrey alluded to the most serious shortcoming; combat enablers in this army are immature at best. Such things make an army robust and able to sustain itself over time, like intelligence, fire support, administration, logistics, communications, and medical support, have been put on the shelf for too long. And, unfortunately, we face the prospect of keeping American units of this sort in Iraq longer to begin the process of building these functions for the Iraqi Army.

So, several years on, how will the American military help the Iraqi Army transition itself as we withdraw? First is this idea of a "thinning" strategy. The last thing that we want to do is pull ourselves out, whole cloth, like we did in Vietnam. Instead of brigades withdrawing as a brigade, the strategy should be to "thin" these brigades, to leave behind the brain and partnership relationships in these brigades, once we begin to withdraw in order to help sustain the Iraqi units for as long as we possibly can. Right now we have 5,000 embedded trainers and 1,300 headquarters trainers. But as we begin to thin our partnership and move our training teams out, I just think we're going to have to increase the number of these military training teams, because 5,000 just doesn't seem to be a large enough number.

So, with enablers left in place, training teams left in place, sadly, the casualties will continue to rise. And if al- Qaeda is smart, they will target these transition units, simply as a means of getting us out of Iraq and toppling the Iraqi Government.

And the next point is that if the new center of gravity is shifting from active combat operations to the advise-assist- and-train function, then we must make these functions, in the American military, job one. The Army is beginning to fray. It's very difficult for the Army and the Marine Corps to sustain these functions. We do the advising function very well. We've had a century of experiences in places like the Philippines, Korea, Thailand, Greece, Indonesia, and El Salvador, where the American trainers and advisers have done a good job of building armies in a time of war. Unfortunately, of course, after Vietnam, we lost those skills. As we begin to transition, we must move our focus from active combat operations to rebuilding a world-class advisory capacity within the United States military. This is not an organizational issue, this is a cultural problem. It's graduate-level work. It involves knowledge of cultures and languages. It requires exquisite personal skills, the ability to sublimate one's ego, the ability to empathize with an alien culture. And, frankly, not all officers and NCOs are very good at this. There are those who have this "cultural right stuff" in the American military. They are a rare breed.

And, finally, let me say that the post-surge strategy should not be focused solely on creating an Iraqi Army in our image. The object is to make the Iraqi Army better than the enemy, not mirror the United States Army.

And it's not necessary, I believe, to build a large Iraqi Army. I believe that the Iraqi Army will be the glue that bonds together this republic that will begin to emerge in Iraq. If the army is the only bonding agent, then it's the intangibles that will eventually determine whether or not this transition is successful. That includes such things as inculcating courage, adaptability, integrity, intellectual agility, and leadership, and the commitment of this army to a cause higher than clan that will ultimately determine whether or not they will be successful.

But, the greatest task we have is to inculcate into the Iraqi Army the will to win, rather than merely teach them how to win.

Prepared Statement of MG Robert H. Scales, Jr., USA (Ret.), President, Colgen, Inc., Washington, DC Once the dogs of war are unleashed all consequences -- political, diplomatic, and domestic -- are shaped by what soldiers call "ground truth" and the truth on the ground has changed enormously over the past year in Iraq. Through Herculean efforts the military command under the leadership of GEN David Petraeus has quite literally wrenched military advantage from what a year ago was the beginning of catastrophic defeat. Increasing the number of "boots on the ground" was an important factor contributing to recent successes. But perhaps a more significant reason for the change of circumstances on the ground was Petraeus' change of strategy. For the first time since the invasion in 2003 he has been able to approach the war as an insurgency; granted an insurgency of a very unique Middle Eastern character.

A year's effort and the loss of nearly 900 lives have placed the military situation at what soldiers refer to as a "culminating point." The culminating point marks the shift in military advantage from one side to the other, when, with all other variables fixed, the military outcome becomes irreversible: The potential loser can inflict casualties, but has lost the chance for victory on the battlefield. The only issue is how much longer the war will last, and what the butcher's bill will be.

Battles usually define the culminating point. In World War II, Midway was a turning point against the Japanese, El Alamein was a turning point against the Nazis and after Stalingrad, Germany no longer was able to stop the Russians from advancing on their eastern front. Wars usually culminate before either antagonist is aware of the event. Abraham Lincoln didn't realize Gettysburg had turned the tide of the American Civil War. In Vietnam, the Tet offensive was a teachable moment for the situation today in that it proved that culminating points aren't always military victories particularly in an insurgency.

In an insurgency, culmination just buys time. The temporal advantage gained on the battlefield can be squandered if time isn't used to turn a military advantage into a successful political outcome. Another lesson from the past is that the military advantage can be lost if the dynamics of the conflict change over time. After the surge the United States will begin to leave and the Iraqis will assume responsibility for their own defense. The battlefield advantage won at so costly a price can only be continued if this change of players is managed with the same strategic genius that gave us the battlefield advantage we now enjoy.

While the military advantage clearly resides with the coalition very little can be done on the battlefield for the remainder of the surge to accelerate the pace of military operations. The counterinsurgency strategy implemented by Petraeus is the right one and cannot be substantially altered. The crucible of patience among the American people is emptying at a prodigious rate and very little short of a complete shift in conditions on the ground is likely to refill it.

The military balance of power cannot be changed very much throughout the remainder of the surge. Al-Qaeda has been pushed into a northern corner of Iraq and constant harassment by the U.S. military supported by the Sons of Iraq effectively limits how much mischief they can cause. But their numbers, though small, have remained fairly constant. The United States has run out of military options as well. The Army went in to this war with too few ground troops. In a strange twist of irony for the first time since the summer of 1863 the number of ground soldiers available is determining American policy rather than policy determining how many troops we need. All that the Army and Marine Corps can manage without serous damage to the force is the sustained deployment in both Iraq and Afghanistan of somewhere between 13 to 15 brigade equivalents. Assuming that Afghanistan will require at least 3 brigades troop levels by the end of the surge in Iraq must begin to migrate toward the figure of no more than 12 brigades -- perhaps even less. Reductions in close combat forces will continue indefinitely thereafter.

So regardless of who wins the election and regardless of conditions on the ground by summer the troops will begin to come home. The only point of contention is how precipitous will be the withdrawal and whether the schedule of withdrawal should be a matter of administration policy. Adhering to a fixed schedule is not a good idea in an insurgency because the indigenous population tends to side with the perceived winners. However, some publicly expressed window of withdrawal is necessary for no other reason than to give soldier's families some hope that their loved ones will not be stuck on a perpetual rollercoaster of deployments.

By the end of the surge much will have been accomplished. The ethnosectarian competition for power and influence will continue. The hope is that all parties by then will seek to resolve these contests in the political realm and not in the streets. The campaign against al- Qaeda and the Sunni extremists will continue to show success although insurgent groups will remain lethal. Militia and criminal violence will continue to be a thorn in the side of the Maliki regime as gangs roam the streets of cities occasionally killing on the order of rouge militia leaders. No solution to this festering problem is possible by the time the troops start coming home.

The influence of Iran will loom very significant -- and will seem "conflicted," given Iran's desire to bloody America's nose but not let the Shia-led Government of Iraq fail. By this January, about the time the drawdown begins in earnest, pressure will build to show some progress toward reconciliation nationally and within warring ethnic groupings.

Governmental capacity will still be inadequate though it will continue to develop. It will resume only when the dust settles from the recent flareup connected with the Iraqi Army operations in Basra. Basic services will remain inadequate but presuming a lull after Basra will slowly improve as long-term electrical and oil projects gather momentum.

In sum after the surge much will remain to be done and nothing substantial can be done without the ability of the Iraqi military to maintain security after American forces begin to depart. This task is so important for the creation of a stable state that the establishment of an effective Iraqi National Security apparatus will become a new center of gravity for the remaining phases of the war. Can the Iraqi Defense Forces grow competent and confident enough to take up the task in the time remaining to them? So far the answer to this question, like so many questions about American policy in Iraq, remains clouded in uncertainty.

The Iraqi Security Forces have shown strength in recent weeks. The Iraqi high command deployed elements of the 14th Division to Basra to destroy the Shia militias and criminal gangs that have held the city hostage for years. Iraqi motor transport units moved one national police and three army brigades on short notice from Baghdad to Basra, a distance of about 400 kilometers, with less than a week for planning and execution. During the operations Iraqi special forces units were transported, some in Iraqi C-130 aircraft, from the very northern most regions of Iraq to the vicinity of Basra. An Iraqi Base Support Unit, roughly the equivalent of an American combat service support battalion, has so far managed to sustain the Basra operation with some help from American-supplied civilian contractors. There have been problems. Some units in the 14th have not fought well. There have been some sectarian infiltration and desertions. But for all its problems the division has not lost fighting effectiveness or cohesion.

These accomplishments might seem at first glance to be less than impressive. But it's important to recall that only a year ago it would have been virtually impossible to pull an Army division from one province and move it to another in shape (and willing) to fight.

Officer leadership at the small-unit level is improving. Sadly the process of leader development is driven by the wasteful Darwinian process of bloody self-selection that always attends armies that must learn to fight by fighting, the only way to build an Army from scratch in wartime. The American Army in the Civil War experienced a similar baptism of fire at a cost of more than half a million dead.

Noncommissioned officers are the backbone of the American Army but NCOs are an alien concept in areas of the world ruled by strict hierarchies. The Iraqi Army is no exception. Only last year did the Iraqis start divisional schools to teach and build corporals, squad and platoon leaders. Some of these newly minted NCOs are filling the ranks of the Iraqi Army and initial reports of their success are encouraging.

This process of "on the job training" in combat has been made more efficient with the addition of American military training teams. These are squad-sized units that imbed themselves in each Iraqi combat battalion and brigade. Equally important are partnership arrangements between American and Iraqi combat units. Emulation and example are powerful forces in combat. Iraqi soldier and leaders tend to mimic the example of American professionalism and effectiveness and when fighting side by side the Iraqis inevitably fight better. American units habitually partner with Iraqi units for the duration of their time in Iraq. These enduring partnerships have the added advantage of allowing the development of personal relationships between Iraqi and American soldiers and commanders.

But very serious problems continue to plague the Iraqi military and in spite of the best efforts of the coalition these problems will linger well after the surge. Iraqi senior leaders and staffs are reasonably competent at moving brigades and battalions from point to point but their ability to do quality planning and execution is very immature. While small-unit leaders are being selected by merit higher level selections are too often based on nepotism or tribal and clan loyalty. In some units sectarianism still trumps allegiance to the nation and on occasion soldiers desert rather than fight against their tribal peers.

From the beginning the coalition leadership focused on building close combat small units as first priority. As a consequence by the end of the surge noncombat functions, what the military calls "enablers," will be immature at best. No army can function for long without being competent in intelligence, fire support, administration, logistics, communications, and medical support. The American military will not only have to train the Iraqis in these functions but remain in Iraq to provide them for a long time; perhaps several years.

The challenge after the surge will be to increase the effectiveness of training, advising, and mentoring to the Iraqis as American forces depart so that the Iraqis will be able to fill the void. Rather than pulling out combat brigades whole cloth partnership units will probably follow a "thinning" strategy whereby a partner unit will thin its ranks gradually leaving the "brains" of the unit in place for as long as possible to assist with planning and employment of enablers.

Today there are 5,000 imbedded trainers and 1,300 headquarters trainers and advisers to joint, army, and ministerial staffs. As the Iraqis face fighting without partners they will probably need more training teams to imbed with them. More Americans left to fend for themselves in an alien and hostile environment might also mean more casualties. It certainly will mean that if the enemy sees killing advisers and support soldiers as the surest means for getting us out of Iraq and toppling the Iraqi Government.

Training, advising, and assisting the army of an alien culture is now job one for the American military. History shows that we are good at this. For over a century from the Philippines to Korea, Thailand, Greece, Indonesia, El Salvador, and in many other distant and inhospitable places American soldiers have successfully assisted in building armies during wartime. Unfortunately after Vietnam we lost the skill to do these tasks effectively. Rebuilding a world class advisory capacity is a cultural not an organizational challenge. This is graduate-level work and advisers need time to learn the language and culture as well as the particular personal skills to do their jobs competently. Not all officers are good at training and advising foreign militaries. We must go the extra mile to find those with the cultural "right stuff" and reward the best of them with fully funded civil schooling, advanced promotion, and a chance to command at all levels.

The post-surge strategy should not be focused solely creating an Iraqi Army in the image of our own. The Iraqis only have to be better than their enemies. Not is the challenge to commit the blood, treasure, and time necessary to train and equip a large Iraqi Army. Wars are not won by the bigger forces but by the force that wants most to win. It will in the end be the intangibles; courage, adaptability, integrity, intellectual agility, leadership, and an allegiance to a cause other than the tribe that will ultimately determine who wins. As we move into a new season of this sad war the age-old axioms will prevail: We will in the end discover that our greatest task will be to inculcate in the Iraqis the will to win rather than to teach them how to win.

Chairman Biden, Senator Lugar, and distinguished members of the committee, thank you very much for inviting me to speak with you today. I'm honored to be part of the discussion that you are trying to stimulate, not only on Iraq, but how the United States balances its strategic interests across the many national security challenges that we face.

In February, I had a chance to visit 10 of Iraq's 18 provinces over a 2-week period, and, even as someone who's a skeptic of the war, I observed that security in many parts of the country had improved markedly, due to the many factors that Senator Biden and Senator Lugar already cited: The Sunni Awakening, the Sadr cease-fire, the sectarian separation that's occurred over the last couple of years, the shift in U.S. strategy toward counterinsurgency and protecting the Iraqi population, the surge of forces in Baghdad that enabled us to be more effective in implementing that strategy in Baghdad, more effective operations against al-Qaeda, which you're now seeing coming to a head in Mosul, and greater professionalism of some, but certainly not all, of the Iraqi military units. And having lived through the violence of 2006 and early 2007, many of the Iraqis that I spoke to really felt like Iraq had been given a second chance.

But, I think the events of the last couple of weeks have reminded us that the situation in Iraq remains highly uncertain. The renewed fighting in Basra and the Shia neighborhoods of Baghdad are a reminder that the security gains that we've made over the last several months are both fragile and incomplete. They're fragile, because they have not been underwritten sufficiently by true political accommodation, and they're between and within the Shia, Sunni, and Kurdish communities. And they're incomplete, because southern Iraq has been left largely under the control of competing Shia militia since the British transferred responsibility for that area, in December 2007.

That said, in areas where security has improved, public expectations have risen quite rapidly. Once you have security, people want jobs, they want essential services, they want free and fair elections, they want real political reconciliation. And these expectations, thus far, have not been met. Meeting those expectations will be essential to consolidating recent security gains.

We're now in what counterinsurgency doctrine calls "the build phase," which is the hardest part of this endeavor, where the primary objective is actually enhancing the legitimacy of the host-nation government, the Iraqi Government, in the eyes of the population. The problem that I saw is that, to date, the security improvements have enhanced our legitimacy, not that of the Iraqi Government.

And herein lies the principal cause for my concern. The Maliki government appears largely unwilling or unable to take advantage of the space created by the improved security, and actually move toward political accommodation, provide for the basic needs of the Iraqi people, and lay the foundation for stability and its own legitimacy; and our government, the Bush administration, appears to lack a strategy for getting them to do so.

One of the most striking things, to me, when I visited, was, whether it was Sunni tribal leaders and business leaders in Anbar and Baghdad, whether it was Shia mayors and governors, down south, the frustration with the incompetence, the dysfunction, the corruption of the central government was not only palpable, it was nearly universal.

And so, Iraqis are deeply frustrated by the lack of political-economic progress overall, and unless this situation changes, recent security gains are going to be very difficult to consolidate, and may be quite perishable, no matter how many brigades we keep in Iraq.

So, the real challenge in the near term is for the Bush administration to use the leverage we have -- military, economic, political -- to push toward real power-sharing arrangements. And this is a tall order, because it presumes that we will have something we have never had in Iraq, and that is a political strategy, a clear and compelling political strategy to push toward accommodation.

Unless the administration succeeds more than it has in the past on this front, I fear that it will bequeath to the next administration an Iraq that is backsliding into civil war.

Years of conducting two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq simultaneously have put great strains on the force, particularly our ground forces and special operations forces. More than 6 years of repeated combat tours -- two, three, four, in some cases -- with little time at home in between, have placed an extremely heavy burden on our soldiers, our marines, and their families.

The operational demands of these wars are consuming the Nation's supply of ready ground forces, leaving us without an adequate pool of Army units ready for other possible contingencies, and thereby increasing the level of strategic risk that we are assuming as a nation.

In my written statement, I've gone into great detail on the strains on personnel, the compressed and narrow training time, the shortages of equipment, the costs of reset, recruitment, and retention challenges. I won't go into those all here, because I don't want -- I know we want to get to the Q&A.

Let me just highlight one key factor, though, that is very important, and that is the Army's need to reduce the length of tours from 15 months down to at least -- no more than 12 months, in the near term. You've heard, from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, saying that we can't sustain the current operational tempo at current force levels. Getting back to a one-to-one deployment ratio of 12 months abroad and 12 months at home is absolutely critical to keeping the force from unraveling, as my colleagues have suggested.

As the surge comes to an end, the Army will have a total of 17 brigade combat teams deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army planners have told me that they need to get that number down to 15 to be able to return to this 12-on/12-off cycle that's so crucial to keeping the force from breaking, over time. So, that's going to argue for trying to take two additional brigades out of Iraq as soon as conditions on the ground permit.

At the same time, there are countervailing pressures and arguments. You'll hear military folks in Iraq talk about the need to maintain higher levels of forces in order to secure the provincial elections that will come, we hope, at the end of this year. They also talk, interestingly, about their concerns about our transition period, and the nobody-home phenomenon between election day and inauguration day. They're very worried about any instability in Iraq that could happen in that period, and, again, they want to err on the side of keeping the force high and then handing off to a new President who can make the choices to bring the force down. I think that's the argument that we're going to have in the next several months, that competition between, "What do we need to do to relieve the strains on the force?" versus what some of the commanders on the ground will argue for, to give themselves more flexibility in the -- as Iraq enters a critical period.

So, where do we go from here? Let me just say that I hope that, as this committee begins these hearings, that, rather than jumping right to troop levels, we -- that you will have the discussion, that you are so good at having, which is, "What are our strategic interests in Iraq and the region?" and "What should our strategy be?" and then, based on that discussion, you know, "What should the troops levels in Iraq look like over time?"

And, third, how we get out of Iraq matters. I think that the next President will have three fundamental options: Unconditional engagement, unconditional disengagement, or conditional engagement. And I've laid those out in my testimony, but, just briefly.

Unconditional engagement is basically a continuation of the Bush administration's policy of giving the Iraqi Government a fairly open-ended commitment of support for as long as it takes, whether they make progress toward political goals or not. This is an all-in approach that is all carrots and no sticks, and it gives the Iraqis very little incentive to make the hard choices they have to make on political accommodation. It's also unsustainable for us, in terms of the U.S. military, our Treasury, and the support of the American people.

The other -- second option is unconditional disengagement, which argues for a rapid withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces from Iraq on a fixed timetable, without regard to conditions on the ground or the behavior of various parties in Iraq, or the consequence that that withdrawal might have on stability in Iraq and the broader region. This is the all-out approach, as I would call it, and it's all sticks and no carrots. My concern is that this would substantially increase the risk of renewed civil war, and even regional war, that would do even greater damage to our vital interests.

So, the best way forward that I see for the United States is a strategy of conditional engagement, in which we use the leverage we have -- military, political, and economic -- which, I would argue, we have never used effectively in 5 years, and we use that leverage to push Iraqis toward political accommodation in the near term and establish the basis for a more sustainable stability over the medium to long term.

Under this approach, U.S. forces would drawdown, gradually shifting to an overwatch role that would be based on a timetable determined by the conditions on the ground and the extent of political accommodation in Iraq. It would transition U.S. forces out of the lead role of providing for the security of the Iraqi population and instead put them in the position of, as General Scales suggested, primarily advising, training, and assisting the Iraqi Security Forces in so doing. This makes building the capacity of the Iraqi forces the long pole in the tent. It also suggests that United States forces would continue to assist Iraqi forces in certain areas, like counterterrorism operations, and would certainly provide for force protection and a quick reaction force for our military advisers and civilians still in country.

If, however, the Iraqis did not make substantial progress on political accommodation, the United States, under this strategy, would selectively reduce its support, in terms of political, economic, military aid, in ways designed to put additional pressure on the Iraqis to make the necessary political compromises, while still protecting our vital interests.

What this strategy does is, it tries to make clear to the Iraqis that our commitment is not open-ended; it is conditional on them making the hard choices that need to be made. It also offers a missing link that's been present since the beginning of this endeavor, and that is a political strategy to support our military strategy for achieving our objectives.

I would like to touch on three critical and interrelated issues: Where things stand in Iraq today; the impacts of sustained high tempos of operations on the U.S. military, particularly our Nation's ground forces; and where we should go from here. where we are in iraq today

In February, I had a chance to visit 10 of Iraq's 18 provinces over a 2-week period. After walking neighborhoods with U.S. soldiers, conferring with State Department and USAID personnel, and meeting with dozens of Iraqis, I came away with both a greater sense of hope and a deeper sense of concern.

Even a skeptic of the war in Iraq could not visit places like Adhamiyah, Doura, and Iskandariyah without being struck by how much security has improved. Markets were open, shoppers thronged the streets, and children were back in school in areas that were deadly urban battlegrounds only months ago.

At the time of my visit, security in many parts of the country had improved markedly due to a host of factors: The Sunni "Awakening," Muqtada al-Sadr's cease-fire, the shift in U.S. strategy to protecting the Iraqi population, the surge of U.S. forces in Baghdad, increasingly effective operations against al-Qaeda, and greater professionalism among some (though not all) Iraqi military units. Having lived through the sectarian violence of 2006 and early 2007, many Iraqis now feel that Iraq has been given a second chance.

Today, the situation in Iraq remains dynamic and uncertain. The renewed fighting in Basra and Shia neighborhoods of Baghdad, as well as the possible cease-fire, are a reminder that the security gains made over the past year are both fragile and incomplete. They are fragile because they have not been underwritten by fundamental political accommodation between and within Iraq's Shia, Sunni, and Kurdish communities. Security gains cannot be consolidated absent political accommodation on multiple fronts.

The security gains are incomplete because southern Iraq has been left largely in the control of competing Shia militias since the British transferred responsibility to Iraqi Security Forces in December 2007. The full story behind the Iraqi Government's latest offensive has yet to be told, but it appears to have been an attempt to reassert its control over Basra, which is home to both critical oil reserves and the nation's primary port, and to defeat Sadrist elements who have continued to launch attacks despite Sadr's previously proclaimed cease- fire. Some speculate that it may also have been a calculated political move by Prime Minister Maliki and his political allies to weaken Sadr's movement prior to the provincial elections slated for this fall. Although Sadr and the Iraqi Government appear to have negotiated the terms of a new cease-fire, the situation remains highly uncertain. It will take time before both the impetus and outcomes of this latest chapter in Iraq's history are fully known. But there is substantial risk when U.S. forces are drawn into the middle of intra-Shia battles.

Michele Flournoy

In areas where security has improved, public expectations have risen rapidly -- for essential services like electricity, for political reconciliation and open, free, and fair elections, for equitable distribution of Iraq's vast oil wealth, and for jobs. These expectations must be met to consolidate recent security gains.

We are now in what U.S. counterinsurgency doctrine calls the "build" phase -- certainly the hardest phase -- in which the primary objective is enhancing the legitimacy of the host-nation government in the eyes of the population. The problem is that, to date, improved security has increased our legitimacy, not that of the Iraqi Government.

And herein lies the cause for my deep concern. The Maliki government appears largely unwilling or unable to take advantage of the space created by improved security to move toward political accommodation, provide for the basic needs of the Iraqi people, and lay the foundation for stability -- and its own legitimacy. And the Bush administration appears to lack a strategy for getting them to do so.

From Sunni tribal and business leaders in Baghdad and the west to Shia mayors and governors in the center and south, mounting frustration with the incompetence, dysfunction, and corruption of the central government was palpable and universal.

While there has been some de facto revenue-sharing by the central government, and the Iraqi Parliament recently passed de-Baathification reform, an amnesty law and a budget, the Iraqis I spoke to were deeply frustrated by the lack of political and economic progress overall. Unless this situation changes, recent security gains are likely to be difficult to consolidate and may be quite perishable, no matter how many brigades the United States keeps in Iraq.

The Bush administration must use its remaining time in office to push the Iraqi Government toward real power and resource-sharing arrangements. This is a tall order, as it requires something that U.S. efforts in Iraq have lacked from the beginning: A clear and compelling political strategy.

In the near term, the focus must be on building the political coalitions and negotiating the compromises necessary to achieve a handful of critical priorities: A renewed cease-fire with Sadr; a provincial powers law; free and fair provincial elections; an equitable oil law; and concrete steps toward political accommodation, such as progress on Article 140 issues, the integration of more Sunnis into the Iraqi Security Forces; and more employment opportunities in former insurgent strongholds.

This will require actually using what leverage we have to pressure key Iraqi players to take specific actions, particularly as we negotiate a new bilateral agreement. Iraq is seeking significant U.S. commitments of political support, security assistance, and economic engagement. These plus U.S. force levels offer leverage for pushing the central government to prove its legitimacy and its worthiness of continued American support. Right now, we are negotiating as if we want this agreement more than they do.

In sum, this administration has a vanishing window of opportunity to consolidate recent security gains with political and economic progress. But this will require the civilian side of the U.S. Government in Washington and Baghdad to act with greater urgency and focus, to use the leverage we have to the greatest effect possible, and to do more of what we in Washington are supposed to know how to do -- figure out how to broker political compromises and build political coalitions to get forward movement on tough issues.

Unless the Bush administration succeeds in pushing the Iraqi Government to embrace political accommodation and invest in its own country in the coming months, it risks not only losing hard-fought security gains but also bequeathing to the next President an Iraq in danger of sliding back into civil war. impact on the u.s. military

Years of conducting two major wars in Afghanistan and Iraq simultaneously have put great strains on the U.S. military, particularly our ground forces and special operations forces. More than 6 years of repeated combat tours with little time at home in between have placed a heavy burden on our soldiers, marines, and their families. The operational demands of these wars have consumed the Nation's supply of ready ground forces, leaving the United States without an adequate pool of Army units ready for other possible contingencies and increasing the level of strategic risk.

At a time when the United States faces an unusually daunting set of national security challenges -- from a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, instability in Pakistan, and a truculent Iran bent on acquiring nuclear weapons, to a rising China, a nuclear-armed North Korea, and a host of weak and failing states beset by a revitalized global network of violent Islamist extremists -- we must give high priority to restoring the readiness of the U.S. military for the full spectrum of possible missions. As a global power with global interests, the United States needs its Armed Forces to be ready to respond whenever and wherever our strategic interests are threatened. Stresses on Personnel

Multiple, back-to-back deployments with shorter "dwell" times at home and longer times away, have put unprecedented strain on U.S. military personnel. Due to the high demand for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Army and Marine Corps personnel have been spending more time deployed than either they or their respective services planned. Judging from conversations with dozens of U.S. soldiers in Iraq, the Army's 15-month tours with only 12 months at home in between have been particularly hard on soldiers and their families.

According to Admiral Michael Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Nation cannot sustain today's operational tempos at current force levels.\1\ Getting back to a one-to-one ratio between time deployed and time at home in the short term, and a one-to-two ratio in the mid to long term, would require either a substantial increase in troop supply or decrease in troop demand, or some combination of both. As the "surge" in Iraq comes to an end, the Army will have a total of 17 Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. In order to get back to a cycle of 12 months deployed and 12 months at home, the United States total commitment would need to be reduced to 15 BCTs.\2\ Over time, growing the size of the Army and the Marine Corps will help to reduce the strain, but not in the near term, as it will take time to recruit, train, and field the additional personnel. -

Meanwhile, there are signs that the stress of repeated deployments is taking a human toll, especially on the Army. Studies show that repeated tours in Iraq increase a soldier's likelihood of developing post-traumatic stress disorder, and indeed, cases of PTSD have risen dramatically.\3\ The rates of suicide, alcohol abuse, divorce, desertion, and AWOLs among Army personnel are all increasing. -

While all four services have met or exceeded their active duty recruiting targets in recent years, they have had to take some rather extraordinary measures to do so. Each service has relied increasingly on enlistment bonuses to attract the shrinking portion of young Americans (only 3 in 10) who meet the educational, medical and moral standards for military service.

Of all the services, the Army has faced the greatest recruiting challenges. Since missing its 2005 recruiting target by a margin of 8 percent, the Army has taken a number of steps to bolster its accessions and meet its annual targets. These have included: Raising the maximum age for enlistment from 35 to 42, offering a shorter-than-usual 15- month enlistment option, giving a $2,500 bonus to personnel who transfer into the Army from another service, and providing a new accession bonus to those who enter Officer Candidate School.\4\ Most notably, the Army has accepted more recruits without a high school diploma (only 82 percent had a diploma in FY2008 to date vice the goal of 90 percent) \5\ and has increased the number of waivers granted for enlistment.\6\ In 2007, for example, more than 20 percent of new recruits required a waiver: 57 percent for conduct, 36 percent for medical reasons, and 7 percent for drug or alcohol use.\7\ An Army study assessing the quality and performance of waiver soldiers compared to their overall cohort found that while the waiver population had higher loss rates in six of nine adverse loss categories, they also had slightly higher valorous award and promotion rates in some communities.\8\ This mixed record highlights the importance of continuing to monitor the performance of waiver soldiers over time. -

The Army is also facing some new retention challenges as it sustains an unusually high operational tempo while simultaneously converting to modularity and growing its force. Remarkably, loss rates for company grade officers (second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and captain) have remained fairly stable in recent years, despite the demands of multiple tours in quick succession. Nevertheless, there is cause for concern. A number of the young captains I met in Iraq were seriously contemplating leaving the Army. While they were proud of their service and most loved the Army, after two, three, or in some cases four combat tours in a handful of years, they needed a break -- to resume their education, start a family, or spend time with the young family they had left at home.

In addition, as the Army expands, it will need to retain a higher percentage of its experienced officers to lead the force. For example, the number of officers the Army needs grew by 8,000 between 2002 and 2006, with 58 percent of this growth in the ranks of captain and major.\9\ A particular gap is at the level of majors, where the services estimates approximately 17 percent of spots are empty.\10\ To decrease the historical loss rate of company grade officers, the Army is offering unprecedented incentives to those captains who agree to extend for 3 years, including choice of one's post or branch or functional area, the opportunity to transfer or change jobs, assignment at their post of choice, professional military or language training, fully funded graduate education, or receipt of up to $35,000 critical skills retention bonus.\11\ -

Given the criticality of retaining experienced field grade officers as it grows, and given the uncharted waters we are in as an All- Volunteer Force sends young officers to their third and fourth combat rotations with little time at home, the Army is rightly paying serious attention to retaining its field-grade officers.\12\ -

To remain fully ready, the U.S. military must prepare not only for current operations but also for a broad range of future contingencies, from sustained, small-unit irregular warfare missions to military training and advising missions, to high-end warfare against regional powers armed with weapons of mass destruction and other asymmetric means. Yet compressed training time between deployments means that many of our enlisted personnel and officers have the time to train only for the missions immediately before them -- primarily counterinsurgency missions in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and not for the full spectrum of missions that may be over the horizon.\13\ These just-in-time training conditions have created a degree of strategic risk.\14\ -

With a 12-month dwell time that is compounded by personnel turnover, institutional education requirements, and equipment either returning from or deploying to theater, Army units have found themselves racing to get certified for their next deployment. While home-station training and exercises at the major training centers are evolving, the ability of units to train for the full spectrum of operations has been severely limited by time. This same compressed timeline has contributed to the overall stresses on the force. Equipment Shortages and Wear-Out

Near-continuous equipment use in-theater has meant that aircraft, vehicles, and even communications gear have stayed in the fight instead of returning home with their units. For example, 26 percent of the Marine Corps' equipment is engaged overseas and most does not rotate out of theater with units.\15\ Roughly 43 percent of the National Guard's equipment remains overseas or has worn out.\16\ Given the high tempo of operations and the harsh operating environments, equipment has been worn out, lost in battle, or damaged almost more quickly than the services can repair or replace it. And near continuous use without depot-level maintenance has substantially decreased the projected lifespan of this equipment and substantially increased expected replacement costs. -

The resulting equipment scarcity has lead to the widespread practice of cross-leveling: Taking equipment (and personnel) from returning units to fill out those about to deploy. The Marines and the Army have also drawn increasingly from prepositioned stocks around the world. So far, these measures have met readiness needs in theater, but they have also decreased the readiness of nondeployed units and impeded their ability to train on individual and collective tasks. Even those deployed are at increasing risk as the equipment they have becomes unusable: Army equipment in Iraq and Afghanistan is wearing out at almost nine times the normal rate.\17\ -

Meanwhile, the Army has told the Government Accountability Office that it will need between $12 and $13 billion per year to replace lost, damaged, and worn equipment for the duration of the war in Iraq and at least 2 years beyond.\18\ The Marine Corps estimates it will need $15.6 billion for reset.\19\ Bringing the National Guard's equipment stock up to even 75 percent of authorized levels will take $22 billion over the next 5 years.\20\ In the current budgetary environment, the military services are struggling to balance resources between reconstituting current stocks and modernizing for the future. -

The Reserves comprise 37 percent of the Total Force and their battle rhythm has accelerated enormously since operations in Afghanistan began in 2001. Each of the National Guard's 34 combat brigades has been deployed to Operations Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom, and 600,000 selected reservists have been activated.\21\ -

Cross-leveling is especially acute for Reserve units, which do not possess equipment at authorized levels. The Army National Guard lacks 43.5 percent of its authorized equipment, while the Army Reserve does not have 33.5 percent of its authorized levels. The Commission on the National Guard and Reserves found that spending on the Reserve Component "has not kept pace with the large increases in operational commitments," \22\ making it unlikely that it will be able to eliminate its equipment shortfalls any time soon. Additionally, a dramatic shortage of person- nel -- including 10,000 company-grade officers -- has forced the Reserve Component to borrow people from other units along with equipment. -

While the Reserve Component is intended for use in overseas operations and homeland defense, it is not fully manned, trained, or equipped to perform these missions. The gap in Reserve readiness creates a significant and little-noticed vulnerability in both domestic disaster response and readiness for operations abroad.

In sum, the readiness of U.S ground forces is just barely keeping pace with current operations. As Army Chief of Staff George Casey has said, "We are consumed with meeting the demands of the current fight and are unable to provide ready forces as rapidly as necessary for other potential contingencies." \23\ Indeed, the United States lacks a sizeable ready reserve of ground forces to respond to future crises. In addition, the fight to recruit and keep personnel combined with the need to repair and modernize equipment means that building and regaining readiness is becoming increasingly costly. -

As you hear testimony from General Petraeus, Ambassador Crocker, and others in the coming weeks, I would encourage you to place their recommendations in a larger strategic context that considers not only the way forward in Iraq but also how best to balance risk across the range of national security challenges we face as a nation.

First, we are where we are. Whether one was for or against the war, we can't turn back the clock. We must start from where we find ourselves today and move forward.

Second, like it or not, Iraq affects U.S. vital interests in the region and globally. Today, the United States most fundamental interests in Iraq can be summed up as: Preventing safe havens for international terrorism; Preventing a regional war; and Preventing of a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe.\24\ -

In addition to being more pragmatic and realistic, these three preventative American interests in Iraq fit within several broader regional and global goals that are closely related to the outcome of the war: Maintaining stability in the Persian Gulf and broader Middle East; Stabilizing Afghanistan; Contesting violent Islamic extremism; Restoring American credibility and moral leadership; and Restoring America's military capacity to meet global contingencies. Any new Iraq strategy must start by placing American interests in Iraq within this broader regional and global context. Failure to do so would only continue the strategic myopia that has plagued this administration's policies on Iraq and risk the continued erosion of America's strategic position in the Middle East and around the world.

Unconditional engagement would be a continuation of the Bush administration's policy of giving the Iraqi Government an open-ended commitment of support for as long as it takes, whether they make progress toward stated goals or not. This "all-in" approach is all carrots and no sticks, and provides little incentive for Iraqis to make the hard choices that are essential to their future. It is also unsustainable for the U.S. military, the U.S. Treasury, and the American people.

Michele Flournoy

Unconditional disengagement argues for a rapid withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces from Iraq on a fixed timetable, without regard to conditions on the ground, the behavior of various parties in Iraq, or the consequences a rapid withdrawal might have for stability in Iraq and the broader region. This "all-out" approach is, by contrast, all sticks and no carrots. And it would increase the risk of a renewed civil war -- and even a regional war -- that would do even greater damage to America's vital interests in the region.

Michele Flournoy

The best way forward for the United States is a strategy of "conditional engagement," in which we use what leverage we have -- military, political, and economic -- to encourage political accommodation in Iraq in the near term and establish sustainable stability over the medium to long term.\26\ Under this strategy, the more progress made on key issues like integrating Sunnis into the Iraqi Security Forces, holding free and fair elections, and equitably distributing Iraq's vast oil wealth, the more support the Iraqi Government could expect from the United States, and presumably the international community, to help build Iraqi capacity for governance and security. -

Under this approach, if the Iraq central government made reasonable political progress, U.S. forces would gradually shift to an "overwatch" role as currently envisioned by in the current military campaign plan, on a timetable determined by the extent of political accommodation and conditions on the ground. More specifically, it envisions a gradual transition of U.S. forces from protecting the Iraqi population to advising, training, and assisting Iraqi Security Forces in doing so. Building the capacity of the Iraqi Army to act as a capable, nonsectarian military will be a long pole in the tent of any future U.S. strategy for Iraq. In addition, U.S. forces would continue to assist Iraqi forces in conducting counterterrorism operations and would provide force protection and quick reaction forces for U.S. civilians and military advisers in-country.

This transition to a more sustainable military posture to support stability in Iraq would be conducted over a period of a few years, as long as the Iraqis were doing their part to make serious progress on political accommodation. If, however, they did not make reasonable progress, the United States would selectively reduce its support in terms of economic, political, and/or military aid in ways designed to put additional pressure on the Iraqis to make the necessary political compromises while still protecting vital American interests.

This strategy aims to make clear to the central government and other players that our support is conditional, not open-ended. It offers the missing link in U.S. policy toward Iraq over the past 5 years: A political strategy for achieving U.S. objectives. It also aims to enable the United States to protect its vital interests in Iraq and the region at substantially reduced and more sustainable force levels. conclusion

When I was in Iraq, the question I was most often asked by Iraqis was, "Is the United States staying?" Whether they were Sunni "Sons of Iraq" who had begun working with U.S. forces to drive al-Qaeda out of their town, or Shia judicial investigators who were working to bring the rule of law to Iraq, or teachers who wanted newly opened schools to stay open for a generation of Iraqi children that have already seen too many years of war, they all looked forward to the day when their country was no longer occupied by foreign forces. But they also wanted U.S. forces to stay awhile longer to enable Iraqis to take the risks necessary for political accommodation to occur.

Michele Flournoy

The only way to broaden and deepen recent security gains in Iraq is to use our remaining military, economic, and political leverage to push various Iraqi actors toward political accommodation. The Bush administration's success or failure in so doing over the coming months will determine which options remain available to the next President.

Michele Flournoy

When the next Commander in Chief takes office, he or she will inherit a number of tough but absolutely critical choices: How to put our Iraq policy on a new course that protects our vital interests there but also rebalances risk across our larger regional and global goals; How to reduce the corrosive and unsustainable strains on our soldiers, marines and their families; How to free up more forces and resources for other immediate priorities like Afghanistan; How to restore the readiness and rebalance the capabilities of our military for the full range of possible future contingencies; and How to restore America's moral standing and influence in the process. He or she will also need strong partners in Congress to make these tough choices and to chart a new way forward for Iraq and U.S. national security more broadly.

I would ask you not to answer now, but I'm going to submit, in writing, a question to you, if I may, Ms. Flournoy, and that is, the "conditional engagement" strategy -- if, in fact, there is not progress, what do we selectively reduce? In other words, how do we selectively reduce? And what would you recommend?

But, let me get -- there are so many questions, and we're going to do 7-minute rounds, so I'd appreciate if you could make your answers as short as possible, and augment them with written followup, if you would like. But, answer, as you see fit, obviously.

Let me be a bit -- I guess it would have been thought to be provocative if you asked this question, you know, 3 years ago -- I, for one -- I've arrived at the position I think General Odom has -- is that -- this idea of fighting terrorism in Iraq is fighting al-Qaeda in Iraq. And I find it not plausible, the argument that if we left, that al-Qaeda will gain a foothold. If we leave, my impression, in my, I don't know, eight or nine trips into Iraq, is that the Sunnis will kill them, the Kurds will kill them, and the Shia will kill them, because they all have overarching reasons to do that, that the reason why al- Qaeda is able to sustain itself by moving north into Mosul is that the Sunnis will take help from anyone against what they believe is an oncoming Kurdish onslaught for Kirkuk to be occupied and Mosul to be controlled by the Kurds, exclusively.

Would you, General McCaffrey, respond to that assertion, which is really, actually, better stated by General Odom. But, if we were to leave -- we always talk about the downsides of leaving. We don't talk much about the downsides of staying. The downsides of staying are overwhelming, just in terms of our force structure, just in terms of the opportunity costs that exist in other parts of the world. But, we have fallen into the jargon, many of us, that if we were to leave -- not precipitously, but announce we're leaving, "We're going to leave over a certain period of time," that these terrible things would happen. The first of those terrible things that would happen, we would have moved al-Qaeda west. We'd move it from Afghanistan, 6 years ago, to having its occupation and its ability to operate with impunity out of a chaotic Iraq. Is that a reasonable assertion any longer, or is the opposite true, that if we leave, over time, we're likely to damage -- not improve -- damage the ability of al-Qaeda to sustain itself in Iraq?
