"" ? Reapply the principles of counterinsurgency: "in Afghanistan, if we focus on counterterrorism to the exclusion of counterinsurgency, we will only ensure that we successfully execute neither." ? Help the Afghan security forces surge as well: "Everyone knows the United States increased the number of its soldiers in Iraq during 2007. What is less well known is that the Iraqis surged with us." ? Change alliance diplomacy: "the United States should continue to encourage European troop contributions and press for the reduction of caveats on their use." ? Increase and reform non-military assistance ? Get control of the narcotics problem ? Work regionally: "We should start by empowering the new civilian government in Islamabad to defeat radicalism with greater support for development, health, and education." ? Communicate the stakes and the challenges to the American people."
