bush and prime minister nouri maliki. so here i am suggesting that, first, they key to engage engat with host nation political leader constituted its own strength of civil-military relations with the set of challenges distinct from those encountered in his dealings with the u.s. chain of command. casey treated maliki as a partner, albeit one driven by a unique political calculus that concern for more than the relatively narrow scope of american military interests. this casey recognized as a delicate civil-military relationship, and he managed it at times by deferring to malik as a political leader when he, that is, casey, proceed long term benefits in so. second, in these dialogues centered on the alignment of inns and means, i think what we see in the casey maliki relationship is a case of the virgin ends, whereas in the case of casey bush relationship we see at the virgin conception of acceptable means and the ways in which to apply those means. in the first case, i'm referring to competing visions of a picture of a fut

meanwhile bush in a private meeting with maliki. offered assurances of more us troops as a way of extracting the same concession. this ambiguity and civil military relations also reinforce or at least left unchallenged his predisposition that committing more us troops would yield at best only temporary and local benefits, and at worst, might exacerbate the conflict. it's worth mentioning that-- and donald rumsfeld shared this predisposition. one could see those surge is the change in alignment of ends ways and means. we speak in the those terms of strategies and understand the failure as a mismatch between the means applied. when we consider the surge alongside the strategy we have a fairly similar conception of a stable secure and ultimately self-reliant iraq. you have a modest to substantial increase and a dramatic change in ways. the emphasis on accelerated transition to an emphasis on population security is one plank in a raft of changes that formed a comprehensive and different approach. the strategy and the surge and a narrati

we'd left 10,000 troops on the ground in iraq that we could have prevented or dissuaded primminister maliki from pursuing some of the ruinous political decisions that he chose that enflamed the sectarian tensions that we'd worked during the surge so hard to tamp down. these actions alienated the sunnis and tore apart that fabric of society again, and it gave, to some degree, a reason for al-qaeda in iraq now to rise up as the islamic state. i can tell you one thing for sure. again, no guarane that 10,000 troops would've prevented all that from happening.bu we certainly could have responded much more rapidly when isis became the threat, and we could've helped our iraqi partners much sooner. >> but it sounds like you're also saying isis could've been avoided. >> i don't know that isis could've been avoided because, agadon't know that we could've prevented the prime minister from taking the acons that he took, which enflamed the sunni community and then took their eyes off of the remnants of al-qaeda in iraq.oy we had des al-qaeda in iraq, not just defeated it. but we were very, very helpful t

because we're empowering the worst elements of the shia led by noury al maliki, who are trying to win the civil war and using the government to try to do it. and i even wonder, at some point, we need to go back and have some conversations with folks in the obama administration as to whether they could walk away because they thought it was about counter-insurgency and now we've had nice elections and we've legitimized the government and therefore we didn't need to stay, which is something you can do in an insurgency once you've reached that point. in a civil war, that force, the force that we represented, which was a peacekeeping force by that point in time, needed to stay. because one of the things, one of the great lessons of history is it takes about 10 to 15 years for people to learn to trust one another again, so that you can withdraw that peacekeeping force. and have a normal stable environment. so that complexity also speaks to this problem that kind of comes through on both of these volumes but especially in volume two, of wrestling with this question of what kind of war is it

how that set the stage for a very turbulent 2012 and 2013, in which the iraqi government of neri maliki suddenly found itself in a civil war again this time with the islamic state of iraq. but the united states was not postured or resourced to help, so there was a steady deterioration of the iraqi government's position, which culminated in the fall of fallujah in 2013, 2014 and the december collapse of the iraqi provincesits northern in the middle of 2014. the last area i think of historical new ground, and there are many are many examples but these are the ones i think are most prominent, is going back to frank sobchak's work as well as jeanne godfroy's work standing in the back of the room, the pivotal period the end of 2013 to the spring of 2014 where there appeared to be -- from washington, and outside there was an assumption that iraq was -- that the situation in iraq was essentially on its way to but inside the command, there was great fear of an outbreak in the sense that there was barely manageable situation in the country. and then that exploded in april of 2014, into at least
