Interesting book about Obama's exhaustive process of making a decision on the way forward in Afghanistan. Obama's very thoughtful, some would say too thoughtful, gathering of all viewpoints in the civilian and military leadership is in stark contrast to W's willful ignorance of those pesky things called facts in making his catostrophic decisions that America is still dealing with. Unfortunately, with the Afganistan strategy review coming due this month, I have a feeling that we're not any closer to an end game there than when Obama announced the new strategy in November of 2009. Time to declare victory and bring our guys home.
