Iraq: Out of the desert into Mosul (closed)

[davidbfpo]

There was a SWJ journal article a few years ago that had something to do with this angle. It was by I believe one of our counter-intel guys and the thrust of the article was one of the reasons the insurgency started up so fast was that it was in large part an operation run by Saddam's former security and intel services. The article concluded also that we completely missed what was actually happening.

Do you Joel or you Outlaw know of that article or remember it? It was very good and really the only one I've read until this interview that stated this opinion.

Carl,

That sounds like Malcolm Nance, ex-USN; I have his book 'The Terrorists of Iraq: Inside the Strategy and Tactics of the Iraq Insurgency', pub. 2007, on my bookshelf. He is not a SWC member, but has several SWJ articles readily id'd by a quick search and glance.
