The report by the Defense Science Board concludes that the government must urgently change its approach to understanding and communicating with the Muslim world. It says U.S. public diplomacy is in crisis, and neither the White House nor Congress has done enough to fix it. At the root of the problem, the report says, is a fundamental misunderstanding of why many Muslims are hostile toward the United States.

The study group examined four broad topics: 1) the strategic environment in and around Iraq; 2) the security of Iraq and key challenges to enhancing security within the country; 3) political developments within Iraq following the elections and formation of the new government; and 4) the economy and reconstruction. The Final Report (.pdf) determined that: "The situation in Iraq is grave and deteriorating. There is no path that can guarantee success, but the prospects can be improved." "Our most important recommendations call for new and enhanced diplomatic and political efforts in Iraq and the region, and a change in the primary mission of U.S. forces in Iraq that will enable the United States to begin to move its combat forces out of Iraq responsibly. We believe that these two recommendations are equally important and reinforce one another."]

• Congressional Oversight and Related Issues Concerning the Prospective Security Agreement Between the United States and Iraq (.pdf) [February 7, 2008 / CRS Report RL34362. This report describes the November 26, 2007, Declaration of Principles for a Long-Term Relationship of Cooperation and Friendship Between the Republic of Iraq and the United States of America. Pursuant to this Declaration, the parties pledged to “begin as soon as possible, with the aim to achieve, before July 31, 2008, agreements between the two governments with respect to the political, cultural, economic, and security spheres.” Among other things, the Declaration proclaims the parties’ intention to enter an agreement that would commit the United States to provide security assurances to Iraq, arm and train Iraqi security forces, and confront Al Qaeda and other terrorist entities within Iraqi territory. Officials in the Bush Administration have subsequently stated that the agreement will not commit the United States to militarily defend Iraq. The nature and form of such a U.S.-Iraq security agreement has been a source of congressional interest, in part because of statements by General Douglas Lute, Assistant to the President for Iraq and Afghanistan, who suggested that any such agreement was unlikely to take the form of a treaty, subject to the advice and consent of the Senate, or otherwise require congressional approval.]
