Iraq Study Group report

More news on Iraq, of course - anyone whose been living under a stone recently might not have heard that the Iraq Study Group Report has just been released.

I won't say much on this - partly because there's been loads of analysis anyway, and partly because I've got other things like PhD writing to keep me busy... One thing that does stand out, though, is the idea of a 'diplomatic offensive' - which seems to mean that such diplomatic issues needs to play a central role in US military policy. This all resonates with the idea of a cultural turn in the US military.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next year or two...
