I think there's still a focus on training iraq troops. It has just gotten to the point where we are securing areas that we have already previously secured and then abandoned to be unsecured; that is being recognized as stupid as far as killing guirella fighters goes.
The new strategy is to secure areas and keep them secure.
The second part of the strategy is that there's a certain region of iraq that started with an R where terrorists are currently "massed" and they are sending 4,000 us troops to help the iraqis move them out.

As for the first part of the strategy my girlfriend made the observation that our previous "strategy" amounted to troops and terrorists running around to benny hill music doing the old switcheroo.

Honestly this war isn't being "Fought" but I guess it's hard to fight terrorist forces. Isn't there any historical precendent for fighting small guirella units?
