Afghanistan & the Fear of Failure (II)
:
Now....
The latest news out of Afghanistan is heartening in one respect and worrisome even more. According to the UN, 20 provinces out of the 28 Provinces are Poppy-Free and production is dropping. But, on the other hand, the Taliban seem to have the upper hand in the conflict. I have seen polls that suggest a drop in support for the war in Afghanistan.
President Obama faces some profound decisions fairly quickly. As he is due to receive the report from his top General, there is the death of a top intelligence official. The Taliban have free reign throughout Afghanistan. The choices are quite stark.
