I sure hope Obama sends the troops the general needs, but I also don't want to see another daily update on body counts like the left did to Bush.

I'd rather just leave that place all together. Some things just can't be fixed...

Let's see, the British figured that out, the Russians figured that out, somebody before the British figured that out. A-ghan is one of the poorest countries in the world, and one of the most proud. A book I read last year put forward the proposition that the main misstep we made was installing a Northern Coalition government in Kabul, surrounded by Pashtun/Pushtun tribes who would never accept "foreigner" tribe as leader of their part of the country.

Rory Stewart (whom I've met several times) and his interview. It's a good interview about the ground realities in Afghanistan. Mr. Stewart walked throughout Afghanistan before and during the war in Afghanistan.
The idea that the Afghans are going to be a threat to the US is bizarre. The language of counterinsurgency has taken over the dialogue in Afghanistan.....a terrible mistake.
600,000 troops?

Politically, President Obama has to respond by giving more troops, as the request from the entire defense establishment has asked for more troops. It's a mistake of epic proportions. Writing a blank check. The policy decision has already been made. I notice that Ambassador Eikenberry has NOT asked for more troops for the country. He was previously a general there.
The analogy is: someone comes to ask you whether they should wear a seatbelt when they drive off the cliff. The answer is: don't drive off the cliff.
