That would be "Two Steps Backward and One Step Forward".

The Salt Lake Tribune -- U.S. military brass push to re-form units of Iraqi army

Its about time someone started showing a little "millitary intelligence".


"Some U.S. military officers in Iraq are pressing to reconstitute entire units of the former Iraqi army, which the top U.S. administrator in Baghdad disbanded in May. They say the change would speed the creation of a new army and stabilize the nation. "


So ... we figured it was a good idea to break up the units then, a few months later we decide it's a better idea to keep them in tact.


There may have been a plan for all of this but it wasn't one that drew on any past experience. It was all an overly optimistic pipe dream.
