Counterinsurgency through Factory Farming

April 28, 2008

What’s a key tactic to fighting the insurgency in Iraq? Exporting factory chicken farming to the region:

Such initiatives play a crucial role in Multinational Division Center’s counterinsurgency strategy.

This is no backyard enterprise, either. 35,000 incubated eggs are being distributed to just twenty chicken farmers, with about another 100,000 eggs to come within the next month.

Nice to know that US taxpayers are footing the bill for getting factory farms up and running in Iraq. Link.
