  Plans for a Post-‘Surge’ Iraq - Council on Foreign Relations
The premise of his plan rests on two conclusions: U.S. forces have not proved capable of stabilizing Iraq and instability is a structural element of Iraqi politics that cannot be solved militarily.
Based on their analyses of some dozen recent civil wars, Pollack and Byman call for a redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraqi population centers to the periphery to stem the flow of refugees, keep Iraq’s neighbors at bay, and essentially let the civil conflict “burn itself out.” Like Simon, Pollack admits the plan is risky.
The emergence of alternative strategies on Iraq comes against the backdrop of two major developments: First, an escalation in carnage that a recently released National Intelligence Estimate describes as a “sea change in the character of the violence.” The February 4 suicide attack in Baghdad was the single deadliest (CSMonitor) since the war began.

In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations in Chicago, Rice restated many of the Bush administration's arguments that deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein posed a threat to the region and could have supplied weapons of mass destruction to terrorists.

The plan was troubling for many reasons: It was profoundly undemocratic; it would have put journalists’ lives at risk by involving them in Pentagon disinformation; and it’s almost certain that any large-scale disinformation campaign directed at the foreign press would have led, sooner or later, to a falsified story being picked up by U.S. media.
This new policy, says Arkin, increasingly "blurs or even erases the boundaries between factual information and news, on the one hand, and public relations, propaganda and psychological warfare, on the other."
