"Hand over political control to the Iraqis faster than happened. Hand over policing responsibilities to Iraqis faster than happened. Stuff like that comes to mind, but as I said, society control is not my field. "

FWIW: I was at a wedding of a marine in late September 2000. Many of the marines in attendance were being encouraged to undergo Arabic training. There was a major push which continued at least as long as I conversed frequently with the groom to increase the Arabic fluency within the military. I believe that the push continues today.
