Afghanistan

The President is considering what to do with Afghanistan. There are reports that he will increase the military strength but less than what Gen. McCrystal wanted. Even that will be too much!

I see no end to McCrystal's strategy or for any other strategy that requires changes in governance or society.

I agree with all the people who emphasize that this will be the proverbial quagmire that Vietnam was for Johnson. No one better states the view than Robert Scheer.
