805M out of 20B is a poor ratio - deduct Admin costs from that 805 and there isn't much seed money to be had. Factor in corruption and the number shrinks further. It would be virgin territory for the Military to manage some of the small business start-ups in Iraq but COIN as I see it is essentially an armed peace corps so I don't see why there couldn't be a pilot project to see how it would fly. Income generating projects/CCC type work could be managed at the small unit level. Oversight/Admin would be direct, on-site, not farmed out from the green zone through layers of intermediaries which significantly ups cost effectiveness and corruption. Create gainful employment and you create partners, trust, good relationships and ultimately improved security.
