Juan Cole — Obama either idiot or Just.Another.Politician.™ on Afghanistan

Juan Cole tells Obama to get real about the idiotic idea of putting more troops in Afghanistan.

Shorter Cole:
1. We know bin Laden et al regularly cross the border into Pakistan.
2. We know Pakistan will not let us pursue
3. Ergo, we’re not going to capture bin Laden, destroy al Qaeda, etc.
4. And, don’t forget the Soviet experience.
