U.S. A-stan brass want yet more troops

Army Gen. David McKiernan, the top American brass hat in Afghanistan, said President Barack Obama’s 17,000-troop “surge” ain’t nowhere near enough.

No shit, Sherlock.

Especially since bin Laden is probably on the other side of the border, and since Taliban-sympatico tribal leaders in southern A-stan aren’t bribable, unlike their Anbar Awakening opposite numbers in Iraq.

All we’re going to do is create a higher level of stalemate.
