Do you see what they are doing Ernest? We go in with all guns blazing, then the local IP step forward to ask us to stop and say they'll take care of it. We then stop and let them. It creates a feeling of gratitude from the people toward the IP, and a feeling of fear that if the IP can't do it the US will come back with their big guns and bombs.
That keeps the locals from joining up with the bad guys. Very, very clever.

You're right, very clever.

Indeed. It's classic good cop - bad cop; moreover, it gets the locals policing themselves rather than having us babysit them forever.
