Too much common sense to ever see the light of day. Use embedded cultural ins utions instead of forcing an alien government concept on them? No way!!!
While a little more thoughtful and in depth than the "stay and hope for the best" or "just add more troops" plans from the oh-so-brilliant neocons, it is done in a way that is so clear and simple that even [EDIT: joke removed for being too obvious]

Army Captain's Simple Demonstration: How to Win in Iraq
Officer Killed in Battle, but His Ideas Live On
By MARTHA RADDATZ
Dec. 15, 2006 — President Bush has spent the last few weeks engaged in complex briefings with senior military officers, State Department officials and outside experts as he tries to come up with a new plan to achieve victory in Iraq.
Watch "World News with Charles Gibson" tonight at 6:30 p.m. ET for more on this story.

But a young captain serving in Iraq's violent Al Anbar Province has offered a simple explanation of what the problem was in Iraq and how to solve it. Among his observations is the importance of having a moustache in Iraq.
In a military known for its sleep-inducing, graphically dizzying PowerPoint presentations, the young captain's presentation, which has been unofficially circulating through the ranks, stands out. Using stick figures and simple language, it articulates the same goal as the president's in Iraq.
The creator of this PowerPoint presentation, "How to Win in Al Anbar," was Capt. Travis Patriquin.
But Patriquin will not see victory in Iraq. He was killed by the same improvised explosive device that killed Maj. Megan McClung of the Marine Corps last Wednesday.
Patriquin had fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. A gifted officer, he spoke numerous languages, including Arabic.
"How to Win in Al Anbar" may not make it to the desk of the president, but maybe it should.

"These aren't the droids we're looking for"
nope, they're the most efficient, most intelligent, most murderous, most cunning WMDs ever created.
i'd go with moustaches... cuz I know mine is a wmd.
yeah, because it is really that simple.. stfu...
Why do you hate our dead soldiers, clan?
why do you love terrorist jew killers who hate america, chump.
I don't like those guys at all. Perhaps you could point out where I said I loved them.
When you can't find it, feel free to yourself.
Sorry to dissapoint you, but my sexlife is fine with sticking to women.
Why do you hate patriots?
, Thank you Osama, taking it in the ass for alqueda was worth it.
I still hate america.
Is that Barrack,
Hating america is as easy as 1, 2 , 3.
Say goodbye to your masterpieces, gtown.
Take it like a man hypocrite.
sorry to break up the circle jerk... but this is some good old fashioned elementary .
and who in their right mind would think that by simply growing a moustache all problems would be solved ... you'd have to be pretty dense to think that it would... but also to think that it wouldnt help in at least some aspect.
things as complex as the situation in iraq can't be resolved by 1 magic bullet... it takes an amalgamation of things to really be effective.
I'll go back to your ad homenim attack.
Worst
Mod
Ever.
Oh yeah, trying to ban me?
How pathetic.
I wouldn't try to ban you.
If you want them all there, they'll stay.
Just thought i'd post what Chump did to Clan for saying the same thing you did.
Since it was a dead soldier's joke, mine was a fair ad homenim attack joke.
Now I took out everything I said after telling you to yourself since you couldn't find any quote of mine saying what you claimed.
