There is no greater foreign policy challenge for the United States
today than the reconstruction of Iraq. The Saban Center for Middle
East Policy at Brookings recently assembled a small group of
experts to consider U.S. policy toward Iraq in all of its
dimensions -military, political, and economic. Saban Center
director of research Ken Pollack took the recommendations of the
Iraq Policy Working Group and combined them with findings from
trips to Iraq and to U.S. Central Command in Tampa to produce A
Switch in Time, a comprehensive strategy for stabilizing Iraq in
the near term and setting it back on the path toward political and
economic advancement. The current U.S. approach is encountering
considerable difficulty and appears unlikely to produce a stable
Iraq within the next few years, not only because of the military
insurgency but also because of government failure in Iraq: the
overthrown Saddam regime was not replaced by effective military or
political institutions. The alternative proposed by some Bush
administration critics, however -a rapid withdrawal -would not
serve U.S. interests. While many thoughtful experts have attempted
to offer a realistic third course of action, none has so far
succeeded. This report proposes such a strategy by detailing the
essential need to integrate military, political, and economic
policies in Iraq. This concise and straightforward book offers a
comprehensive, alternative approach to current U.S. military,
political, and economic policies in Iraq. Iraq Policy Working
