On December 14, 2006, the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute released a study titled ‘Choosing Victory: A Plan for Success in Iraq.’ The study “suggested that with a surge of new troops America could finally succeed. Focusing on holding certain areas of Baghdad, it concluded that the deployment of twenty thousand additional troops would be enough to pacify significant sections of the city.”
