No, Obama does NOT have hard A-stan choice

Contra the story about US military issues in Afghanistan, there’s an easy one.

Redefine “victory” after the runoff round of the Afghan presidential election. Accept that many Afghans in the military are still unenthusiastic about fighting the Taliban. (Blame Bush for not sending enough troops in the first place, if you want.)

Then, meet the benchmarks for the redefined victory and get the hell out!
