A Switch in Time A New Strategy for America in Iraq

In A Switch in Time Kenneth M. Pollack and the Iraq Policy Working Group of The Saban Center for Middle East Policy seek to provide an alternative, comprehensive approach for American strategy in Iraq. They begin with the assumption that although the current U.S. approach in Iraq is encountering considerable difficulties and appears unlikely to produce a stable Iraq within the next two to five years, the alternative proposed by some Bush Administration critics—a rapid withdrawal—would also not serve U.S. interests. While many thoughtful experts and policymakers have attempted to offer a realistic third course of action, none have so far succeeded in doing so. This report poses such a strategy.
