Although the U.S. withdrawal plan is designed with care to avoid weakening Iraq's security, the end of U.S. occupation may alter the strategies of the main Iraqi political actors, each of which has enough armed power to be able to shatter Iraq's domestic peace. In view of the potential for insecurity in Iraq, the United States cannot afford to take a passive or reactive stance. To anticipate dangers and act purposefully, U.S. policy-makers need a dynamic analytic framework with which to examine the shifting motivations and capabilities of the actors that affect Iraq's security. This monograph offers such a framework. 410 0$aRand Corporation monograph series. 517 3 $aFramework for analyzing emerging threats as US forces leave 517 3 $aFramework for analyzing emerging threats as United States forces leave 606 $aNational security$zIraq 606 $aInternal security$zIraq 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011 606 $aDisengagement (Military science) 607 $aIraq$xMilitary policy 607 $aIraq$xPolitics and government$y2003- 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aInternal security 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011. 615 0$aDisengagement (Military science) 676 $a355/.0330567 700 $aGompert$b David C$0675666 701 $aKelly$b Terrence K$0879921 701 $aWatkins$b Jessica$0905761 712 02$aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220097803321 996 $aSecurity in Iraq$92025947 997 $aUNINA
