With the war in Iraq stretching past the five-year mark, experts weigh in on what has gone right, what has gone wrong, and lessons learned. Paul Kane, a Marine veteran of Iraq, writes of the “serious disconnect” between civilians and those who have served in uniform, while Meghan O’Sullivan, former deputy national security advisor for Iraq and Afghanistan, says that today “we have the right strategy in place — and it is making a difference on the ground.”

"What Maliki’s Power Means for US"
Op-Ed, Boston Globe
By Eric Rosenbach, Faculty Affiliate, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (on leave) and Aki J. Peritz
"The continuing headache that this Iraqi prime minister gave to President Bush may indeed carry over into this administration, despite Maliki's non-endorsing "endorsement'' of Obama during the US presidential campaign. Nevertheless, given the drawdown of US troops in Iraq, having a strong man in Baghdad - whatever his ethnic or confessional background - is not the worst of all outcomes."

Op-Ed, The Huffington Post
By Eric Rosenbach, Faculty Affiliate, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (on leave) and Matan Chorev, Former Executive Director, Future of National Security Project
President Bush's mischaracterization of the Iraq war as a battle against al-Qaeda has led to both a restoration of the extremist group's capabilities to attack the United States and increased support for Jihadist attacks in the region, according to Eric Rosenbach and Matan Chorev.

Defeating the Jihadists
Book
By Richard Clarke, Faculty Affiliate, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Eric Rosenbach, Faculty Affiliate, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs (on leave), Blake W. Mobley, Glenn P. Age and Lee Wolosky, Former Research Assistant, Strengthening Democratic Institutions Project
The international jihadist network of radical Islamic terrorist groups is far more extensive than just al Qaeda, and it has conducted twice as many attacks in the three years since September 11, 2001 as it did in the three years prior to that date. Defeating the Jihadists: A Blueprint for Action (Century Foundation Press, 2004), assesses the nation's successes and failures on homeland security and calls for a stronger, more effective strategy for dealing with jihadists, including al Qaeda. The report offers a detailed action plan for neutralizing the international movement at the core of worldwide terrorism. The report also describes the nature of the jihadist threat; provides comprehensive profiles of the various jihadist groups; and offers a rationale for the effort and money that would be needed to make the plan a success. The plan presented in the report builds on the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission and serves as a road map for winning the war against the jihadists.
