I think what actually works best is local-level individual targeting of key leadership nodes.

Everybody needs to understand that I learned Arabic from the United States Army as a second language. I never spoke it at home.

Oh, the transition concerns me because as we move towards an important political event, it's clear to me that the terrorists and insurgents will move as hard as they can to disrupt this process.

But the key shift in focus will be from counter-insurgency operations to more and more cooperation with Iraqi security forces and to building Iraqi security capacity.
