All of a sudden, there is a spate of political pundits focusing on the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, and what they are saying isn’t pretty.
On September 1, George F Will offered “Time to get out of Afghanistan” in The Washington Post.
Today, September 6, Thomas L. Friedman offers “From baby-sitting to adoption” and Nicholas D. Kristof “The Afghanistan abyss” in The New York Times.
Friedman and Kristof are both progressives, Will isn’t.
Friedman and Kristof suggest debate and caution regarding increasing American troop levels. Will suggests off-shore military involvement.
Iraq is/was a war of “choice.” Is Afghanistan a war of futility?
How does President Obama deal with the unintended consequences of Charlie Wilson’s War?
Trust, but verify.
