Basically, the new strategy is like the "strategic hamlets" one used in Viet Nam, where we set up gated communities with high concentrations of US forces and basically focus on keeping those areas safe and productive. I think it can work, if only on a tactical level, as long as sweeps are frequent enough.

The rhetoric has pretty much shifted away from "the primary goal of US troops is training a new Iraqi army."
