U.S. Strategy in Iraq
Brian Katulis and Lawrence Korb presented “Strategic Reset,” a report from The Center for American Progress. They urged the United States to look beyond the situation in Iraq in order to counter the threat from global terrorist groups and ensure stability throughout the Middle East and Gulf region by developing a new overall Middle East strategy.
Shawn Brimley and Michele Flournoy presented “Phased Transition,” a report from The Center for New American Security. They identified specific steps the Bush administration can take to secure America’s enduring interests in Iraq with no al Qaeda safe havens, no regional war, and no genocide. They also suggested plans for subsequent phases while also preparing for the worst.
