On Targeted Killing and Warfare
The Oil Thief of Baghdad
This article argues that Iraqi president Saddam Husayn’s primary motive for invading Iran in 1980 was to seize the oil of Khuzestan Province. I look at all the evidence, much of which was either overlooked in previous treatments of the subject or was unavailable: Iraq’s military moves, Ba‘th Party regime records, tapes of Saddam’s conversations, declassified United States government documents, and interviews with Iraqi generals. Reasons previousl…
Training Better Arab Armies
US security force assistance missions to Arab partner states have had limited success, due in part to a tendency to impose American doctrine, which embodies American cultural values and norms, on Arab armed forces. Accordingly, US security force assistance missions should train Arab partners to fight in a manner better suited to their own cultural preferences and operational requirements
Countering Iran
Escaping the Civil War Trap in the Middle East
A constant criticism of the Obama administration is that it has not articulated a comprehensive strategy for dealing with the entirety of the Middle East. On one hand, there is a logic to this comp
Symposium
Iraq Faces the Brink Again
Iraq's indigenous forces for stability seem unlikely to be able to hold the levee themselves, but among the external players only Iran, ironically, seems willing to exert itself to help avoid a catastrophe
The Arab Awakening
"Analyzes key aspects of the 2011 Mideast turmoil, such as Arab public opinion; socioeconomic and demographic conditions; the role of social media; influence of Islamists; the impact of political changes on the Arab-Israeli peace process; and ramifications for the United States and the rest of the world. Also provides country-by-country analysis of Middle East political evolution"--Provided by publisher
Doubling Down on Iran
The Other Side of the Coin
Iraq's Long-Term Impact on Jihadist Terrorism
This article argues that the problems facing Iraq could have tremendous consequences for the broader “war on terror,” particularly if they return to or exceed levels seen at the height of the violence in 2006. Salafi militants, followers of an extreme interpretation of Islam who want to use violence to unite Muslims under religious rule, have been fighting in Iraq and may use the country as a base for operations and attacks elsewhere in the regio…
The Critical Battles
We have almost certainly reached the last chance for serious U.S. efforts at a political strategy to achieve a sustainable peace and set in motion processes to begin to rebuild Iraq's capacities for self-governance and economic regulation, the essential components for stability
Bringing Iran to the Bargaining Table
If the Iranian people were ever forced to choose between the nuclear program and their country's economic health, they likely would choose the latter
Air Power in the Six-Day War
In the aftermath of Israel's stunning victory over Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian forces during the 1967 Six-Day War, accolades for the victory were often showered upon the Israeli Air Force (IAF). Indeed, many believed that it had been Israeli air power that had been the decisive element in the war by first eliminating the Arab air forces and then obliterating the Arab armies in turn. While the IAF did play an extremely important role in the fig…

Democracy in Iraq
Critics raise five primary objections to the feasibility of democracy in Iraq. Yet, these arguments exaggerate the impediments and ignore the potential impact that a determined United States could have. Failure to make democracy in Iraq work would be disastrous

Securing the Gulf
IN 1968, the United Kingdom relinquished its security responsibilities east of Suez, leaving the United States to pick up the pieces. Chief among the inherited obligations was ensuring the stability and security of the strategically vital Persian Gulf region. In the decades since, Washington has tried to do this job in various ways, relying on the twin pillars of Iran and Saudi Arabia during the 1970s, tilting toward Iraq during the 198os, and pu…

Coercing Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein's Iraq has repeatedly been coerced in the past and can be again in the future. The historical record is clear: in conflicts with Iran and with the US and its allies, Saddam has repeatedly bowed to outside pressure when it threatened his relationship with his power base, which is essential to his control over Iraq and very survival. To extract concessions from Saddam in the future, the US and its allies must target this power base b…
