ISW analysts deployed again in 2011, and Dr. In 2010 alone, ISW analysts and fellows spent more than forty weeks deployed to theater. ISW has built a reputation for its accuracy and ability to translate complex military concepts and specialized information into formats accessible to a more general audience.

In addition, ISW has used its unique access to military commanders to launch a Best Practices in Counterinsurgency series that aims to capture the most important lessons from today’s wars in order to speed the way in which these lessons are applied the formulation of new military strategy. Research from this project has focused on insurgent groups such as the Haqqani Network, political corruption, and coalition operations. Since its formation in 2007, the ISW Iraq Project has remained the premier source for unbiased analysis on the changing political and security dynamics affecting progress in Iraq.īuilding upon the success of the Iraq Project, ISW launched the Afghanistan Project in April 2009 in response to growing demand to better understand the war in Afghanistan. Kagan published her first Iraq Report in March 2007, introducing the Washington policy community to ISW’s flagship research product.

Through reports and timely events, our research educates military and civilian leaders, reporters, and the public to enhance the quality of policy debates. ISW researchers spend time in conflict zones conducting independent assessments and enhancing their understanding of realities on the ground.
In pursuit of this principle, ISW conducts detailed, open-source intelligence analysis to provide the most accurate information on current conflicts and security threats. And in the last two years, it has used its majority in the House of Representatives to provoke a series of crises, all with the goal of breaking Obama's agenda and forcing him to acquiesce to theirs.We believe ground realities must drive the formulation of strategy and policy. Republicans offered near-categorical opposition to the stimulus, health care reform, cap and trade, financial reform, and early efforts at immigration reform. After all, he would have missed the GOP's decision to adopt the mantle of "no," and oppose the whole of President Obama's agenda, beginning in January 2009, and continuing-with few exceptions-to the present. But if he had, this advice would make much more sense. Kristol has not just woken up from a four-year coma. The magazine-and by implication the conservative movement-would "stand athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it." A little willingness on the part of Republicans to sometimes stand athwart History would also go a long way. The second step is to recall Bill Buckley's famous words, at the founding of National Review. He outlines four steps for the GOP to take, but it's the second one that stands out: Writing at the Weekly Standard, William Kristol offers a little advice to the Republican Party as it looks for a path forward.
