That’s the word from Karl Eikenberry, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan and also a retired three-star general. From the tone of the story, it appears he may well be behind President Obama now asking “exit strategy” questions.
It’s amzong that Bush was too dumb, arrogant, or both, to ask those questions about either Afghanistan or Iraq, long after both wars started.
That said, if Obama is serious about wanting the answers, he needs to stick by them once he makes a public decision.
