Leadership by deploying old ideas for the first time would make them new in this theatre.

Many military strategies are used in Marketing. I am feeling that marketing has become more advanced and points the direction to where current military problem solving for Iraq is flawed.

it is common knowledge that if you get in to a competition where the discussion is about features then you are product orientated and will get drowned out by the next person claiming to have better features.

This is what i see in most of the discussions. People claiming mostly what can't be done because the Coalition lacks a lot of features. What I see that needs to be done is to take the problem solving to neutral playing field that does not give insurgents any advantage. As a product in Iraq they win but as a future for the country they lose.
