Welcome to the Surge

Bill Roggio outlines the surge plan currently taking place in Iraq.

The basic idea: block the exits and trap AQ in their current positions. Then, kill them instead of merely clearing them out. Afterwards, they have holding troops and humanitarian aid ready to step in and help with the aftermath.

Meanwhile, Special Forces continues to raid and kill AQ head quarters and rear positions and smaller offensive operations against Sadr militia and Iranian networks take place as warning shots: do not get involved.
