Reply #31: In Clark's book, Winning Modern Wars, Clark's argument, as I understand it

[1932]

is that the invasion operated smoothly and efficiently and he has very few criticisms of the military part of the action. He disagrees with the post-invasion actions. He says the military is not the appropriate body for nation-building and that the US needs to get the State Department and the UN involved in that stage.

He also thinks that the military would be making a huge mistake if it invaded all of the seven other countries the US has on its shit list. I believe that it's almost a direct quote to say that Clark believes that we need to use police tactics and cooperation to drive islamist terrorists out of five of the countries on the watch list (which he doesn't name) and get them into two of those countries (one of which is presumbably Iran, since Clark has some very harsh words for Iran) and that it would be appropriate to use the miltary solution for those two countries.

For other peopel who have read this book, would you say that is an accurate reading of his argument?
