United States Lacks the Capability to Counter Insurgency in the Muslim World

A report commissioned by the Pentagon and just released by the Rand Corporation calls into serious question our strategy in dealing with Islamist insurgencies. I think it is an interesting read.

My summary is that we are not going to be able to shoot our way to victory. This is not WWII. Sure the military is heavily needed but they/we are not going to win this war on the strengths of our military alone.
