But the point is the "Government in a Box" crap, when applied, looks like a profound Achilles Heel. Is it going to be Clear, Hold, Build, or just the regular grass mowing, and come back in two years?
I'm still stuck with this notion that something "provisional" has to be worked out to make the "hold, build" part work to, first, establish effective control, and second, create stabilization, and third, incorporate and transition to local control---rapidly, effectively, and over and over.
Haven't seen that yet.
A Relief news report indicated there were some 4,000 families recorded as refugees from the fighting, waiting to come home---those are the "people" of Marjah. That's maybe 25,000 people. So how do we deal with them?
