TigerHawk notes the latest Stratfor report reverses the pessimistic report issued December 30 which asserted that cleaning out infiltration of the Iraqi security forces was now impossible and therefore the US has no choice but to retreat from direct engagement:
Less than three months ago, Stratfor issued a fairly dismal report on the counterinsurgency in Iraq. Stratfor argued then that the insurgency had penetrated Iraqi governmental institutions, including particularly the Iraqi military, rendering it impossible for the counterinsurgency to develop the intelligence advantage necessary to win the war…
Those of us who pay good money for Stratfor’s generally fascinating reports would appreciate it if they would at least acknowledge when they are changing their mind on a subject so important as the probability of a successful counterinsurgency in Iraq.
Indeed.
