George Will Reads my Blog?
August 31, 2009
On August 16th I wrote a post titled, “Fight on our terms, not theirs…” where I argue that we need a new strategy for Afghanistan. George Will’s strategy and mine seem very similar. In a story scheduled for publication later this week Will suggests,
“[F]orces should be substantially reduced to serve a comprehensively revised policy: America should do only what can be done from offshore, using intelligence, drones, cruise missiles, airstrikes and small, potent special forces units, concentrating on the porous 1,500-mile border with Pakistan, a nation that actually matters,”
Wow. That was my idea. To be honest, it is the ONLY logical option for us at this point. It isn’t surprising George Will would come to the same conclusion – it is only surprising that our leaders haven’t.

Slightly off topic: in the last sentance you refer to those currently in power as “our leaders”. They are Congressmen/women, Senators, and the President but they are not leaders. They are only politicians who have none of even the most basic leadership skills of a Cub Scout den mom.
