  • Afghan mythology

    Amir Taheri has an interesting piece in the NY Post about some of the commonly accepted "wisdom" about Afghanistan. He paints a much different picture than many doomsayers. It is still a nightmare to contemplate, but he points out it is not...

  • Taliban tear in Pakistan continues

    Taliban activity in Pakistan is increasing and the attacks have been bigger and more coordinated. Although they have suffered many losses in the government efforts to move them out of certain areas, they have hit numerous targets far outside their zone...

  • Bradley blog ad

    I'm sure most of you have noticed the ad in the sidebar for the Bradley blog from BAE Systems. They have been an advertiser here for a while and this and the other premium sponsors are allowing us to make some bigger plans for coverage and content...

  • Public backs troop surge

    While I am not in favor of having a general public make decisions about how we should prosecute an active war, it is good news that poll numbers are moving in the right direction. As President Obama mulls the military's request for a big troop build...

  • Lighter guns, more dead tangos

    Nobody likes humping the pig, ask Matt. And no that was not an obscene reference. Machine guns are heavy, and now our troops in A-Stan can bring more scunion on patrol. U.S. Army infantry units are fighting in the mountains of Afghanistan with a special...

    So the WaPo has noted that when you deploy grunts to a war, someone has to feed them and fix the tuff they break, and drive the stuff their and guard it once it is there. This news flash, which they treat as such, is exactly the same reporting we got...

  • Doing more w/ what you've got

    LTC P over at OpFor has a rant up about the complaints that A-Stan has been under-resourced. He's not saying it hasn't, he's saying, well he says it fine himself. What other enduring campaigns in history have been under-resourced? There's...

  • Taliban on a tear in Pakistan

    As we hear about how the Taliban is perhaps not a danger to Afghanistan because they are happy to hang out in Pakistan, they have really upped the ante there. A bombing in Swat kills 41, they attack an army post and hold it for a day, and the new Talib...

  • Tom Friedman has a good idea

    Not all that often does Tom Friedman do something I can wholeheartedly agree with, but his advice for Obama about the Nobel Prize is pretty good. All that said, I hope Mr. Obama will take this instinct a step further when he travels to Oslo on Dec. 10...

  • Thomas P. Barnett on Afghanistan

    Thomas P. Barnett, the author of The Pentagon's New Map, has weighed in on Afghanistan. You might have expected a strategic piece, but instead Barnett is thinking politically. I think often we believe that strategists who talk about the politics are...
