Top U.S. Military Officer in Iraq to Evaluate (Myers)

During the visit, his first to Iraq since December, Myers will discuss security issues with an Italian commander near the southern city of Nassiriya.

Myers, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, was welcomed to Camp Mittica by Italian Brigadier General Gian Marco Chiarini, who heads an army brigade that includes about 3,000 Italian troops responsible for security in Nassiriya.

Myers flew to the airbase at Tallil in Iraq aboard a U.S. military C-17 cargo plane.

Earlier in Kuwait City, Myers said the U.S.-led coalition occupying Iraq was committed to bringing rebel Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr to justice but acknowledged his capture could increase violence on a temporary basis.

1. Seven Days in May Meyers, huh?
Some of US noticed the USAF response on 9-11-2001 to multiple hijackings and attacks involving the use of aircraft on command, communication and control sites and how it's mostly Air Force blue around Rumsfeld and his Vulcans.

Why I remember reading that silly futuristic narrative from the neo-conservative dominated USAF think tank Institute for National Security Studies/INSS back in 1996, Occasional Paper 11. The efficacy of coup, the Revolution in Political and Military Affairs/RPMA.
