Obama's Surge: The Effort to Salvage Afghanistan
2009-12-03 14:30:00 Cadets listen as President Barack Obama speaks about the war in Afghanistan, Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2009, at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)I'll give Obama this: at least he talks to us like we're adults. In outlining his plan and reasoning for escalating the war in Afghanistan by augmenting our forces with 30,000 additional troops, President Obama made a cogent, lucid argument for our continued involvement and addressed the criticisms of his plan forcefully one-by-one. While using rhetorical flourishes similar to his predecessor, he at least paid lip service to the complicated reality of the situation. Having said that, I remain pretty well convinced that this entire endeavor is a fool's errand, but maybe...

Recalling Reagan's 'Afghanistan Day'
2009-09-06 22:28:00 Since President Obama's increasing incursions into Afghanistan are quite a multi-faceted dilemma for all involved, and because support for the notion is said to be dwindling in the US, I've published an entry, Reagan's 'Afghanistan Day' haunts a cynical world, with precious few astrological references, but with a couple of interesting links from the time period when Reagan royally proclaimed 'Afghanistan Day' on March 21, 1985, a day of a New Moon @ Aries Point.One link therein leads you to the text of Reagan's proclamation, so do check it out, if you're so inclined - whether you think the US should have boots on the sands of Afghanistan or not.

US Should Pull Out from Afghanistan
2009-09-01 14:44:00 Noted conservative columnist George Will argues in his new column in The Washington Post that the U.S. should pull out ground troops from Afghanistan?even as the commander there is planning to ask for reinforcements. "[F]orces should be substantially reduced to serve a comprehensively revised policy," he writes. "America should do only what can be done from offshore, using intelligence, drones, cruise missiles, air strikes and small, potent special forces units, concentrating on the porous 1,500-mile border with Pakistan, a nation that actually matters." Will also recalls Otto von Bismarck's decision to halt German forces before reaching Paris in 1870, writing: "Genius is not required to recognize that in Afghanistan, when means now, before more American valor? is squandered."Read it at The Washington Post
