Agree. What Crocker is talking about is the political and economic gains, which is actually the most important thing.
Absolutely, it is ESSENTIAL to the rebuilding of Iraq, in not in actual econimic gains, it leads to support and BELIEF in teh givernment of Iraq! The people themselves have to believe in it to support it, and the Government must have the support of its people in order to continue to better the lives of those people. Its all laid out in the Counter Insurgency handbooks that the Military makes againable to the Soldiers on the ground, and is a LARGE part of what the surge is all about. Its all apart of the same foundation, and it all has to be built from the ground up. It is a testament to our Miliatary forces who are making all of that possible, a testament to the Iraqi People who are standing up, and by and large taking the hits, that are now making all the rest possible.
Cheers to each and every one of them!
