Whether Afghan President Hamid Karzai will bow to the press of world leaders and either tacitly or directly admit election fraud, through some sort of “solution,” or not, is one reason we shouldn’t send more troops to Afghanistan.
We should also wait to see how serious and successful Pakistan is with its South Wiziristan offensive.
That issue alone shows how clueless Gen. Stanley McChrystal (and, behind him, Gen. David Petraeus) are about geopolitics AND grand strategy, even if they are whip-smart about tactics, and heavily into U.S. political manipulation.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
