The SysAdmin has been in Iraq for a long time, now comes the belated attempt at Development in a Box
BARNETT
Lotta people sending me emails about Bush's speech last night: Do I see the SysAdmin emerging in Iraq finally?

To me, events in Iraq have been molding the SysAdmin function/force for several years in Iraq (with some of those effects felt primarily back here), to include things like the splitting of the command there a while back (one to fight, one to train), the new counter-insurgency doctrine back here, DoD directive 3000 (demanding commands plan equally for postwar, etc.

What I saw in the president's speech last night was more the realization that jobs are the ultimate exit strategy, thus the first enunciation of something very close to what Steve DeAngelis and I have been advocating for a while with Development in a Box (right down to the infrastructure czar).

To that end, Steve and I are co-posting a joint blog entry later this morning on the subject.

As I've said many times before, these changes don't come about because they're cool or visionary. They come about because the failures demand them.
