AP: 'Jihadist' booted from government lexicon

[Ken White]

...Is it possible for any bureacracy (US included) to adopt Mortenesen's creed?

I'd say very difficult and probably somewhat less effectively but the bureaucracy can do it.

Specifically, can battalion's adopt his approach in Iraq and Afghanistan???

Some have, more are to the extent they are able. I suggest a better question is; should they?

They as opposed to OGA or NGOs who are far better suited for the role...

Edited to add; More questions, more answers.

...How/Can you move to stability without the thorough cooperation of the host-nation and the indigenous people and tribal structures (ie Iraq and the surge).

Not being facile, serious answer -- you can't. Not reliably, anyway. All you can do is give it your best shot.

...From my perspective, that's not our fight. When they're done fighting, I'll come in and build schools.

Once again, a serious answer. I understand and agree with you but IMO that's not our call. Bad jobs go with the territory. Many do not like that and I understand that. Some accept it for various reasons while others elect to not do so. Choice each of has had to make...
