Thinking about the war now and the occupation later is not an acceptable solution.

The possibility of the United States winning the war and losing the peace is real and serious

In a highly diverse and fragmented society like Iraq, the military...is one of the few national institutions that stresses national unity as an important principle. Tot ear apart the army in the war’s aftermath could lead to the destruction of one of the only forces for unity within the society.

If the United States assumes control of Iraq, it will therefore assume control of a badly battered economy

Successful occupation will not occur unless the special circumstances of this unusual country are heeded.
