Victory strategy for Iraq, but no plan, yet

The so-called "plan" for "Victory in Iraq" is really simply a strategy paper, not an actual plan. In fact, although it lays out a number of "strategic objectives (the "pillars"), it really doesn't give us any clue as to what the plan is to achieve the elements listed for each pillar.

If we're going to make this Iraq democracy thing work, we need to see a "plan" come from the Iraqis themselves, not the invaders/liberators/occupiers.
