FDD President Clifford May's weekly Notes & Comments is now available on the FDD website:
HOW TO WIN IN IRAQ: FDD Distinguished Advisor Newt Gingrich sends along a very original outline he received from Capt. Travis Patriquin, a young Marine captain killed last week in Iraq by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device).
Newt writes: "First of all it is a tribute to his dying for his country. Second it is essentially correct and illustrates how much of our failure is to be found in the absolutely false strategy adopted by the CPA (Coalition Provisional Authority) in June 2003. If we do not get large scale change we will not win in Iraq."
Captain Patriquin's observations are conveyed through stick figures and simple language. Among his observations: the importance of having a moustache in Iraq. Highly recommended reading.
