Offensive Operations

Abstract

The political opposition against to the war in Iraq may lead to a premature withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq at the expense of Iraqi National Security. The political parties in the U.S. remain polarized regarding future operations in Iraq. The offensive operations against the insurgents have been successful to disrupt command and control, and the supply of weapons to the insurgents. There may be no right or wrong answer concerning continued offensive operations, but the evidence suggests that maintaining regional security is essential in winning the war against the insurgency.
