...Iraqification, the third path, which everyone agrees is absolutely necessary. The Pentagon says it is Iraqifying as fast as it can, building no fewer than five indigenous security services that will ultimately involve 70,000 recruits. But far more bodies are needed. Several experts, including some in the Administration, suggest calling the Iraqi army-the ragtag regular army, not the Republican Guard-back to barracks.

Some are drawn into cell structures under the command of former security and intelligence officers; others operate through tribal and clan networks. Their motivations range from a religious-inflected nationalism resentful at the indignity of occupation - and fearful of the loss of Sunni privilege that had been guaranteed by the Baathists - to the tribal...
