#1 Looks like five sectors to me, with an option for a sixth.

#2 I think it's a plan for a suitcase nuke.

In Arabic, of course.

#7 IMHO - the Petraeus COIN plan and this plan, when combined, borders on brilliant. This is a classic example of the strategic "art" that will be studied for years like that of the British action in Malaysia. We brought the fight to the enemy in ways they could not counter regardless of their perceived strength. It took some time and came with a heavy price but we've defeated them in detail. The tipping point may have been the Zarqawi hit/map capture but it still took boots on the ground and the heroism of thousands of brave warriors. I take solace knowing our future leaders (SNCOs/LtCols) are now young Sgts and Capts who won this fight. Semper Fidelis.

I hope some of these soldiers end up in our government running our country--replacing the likes of Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, etc.

#9 It may be primitive, but powerpoint foils don't necessarily make a good idea better if people understand your meaning. It worked for years.
