I went a bit more in depth on it: http://waronterrornews.typepad.com/home/2009/03/afghan-policy-review.html<BR/><BR/>I'm concerned that the "civilian surge" has been described as "hundreds" of agriculturalists & educators, held back by our "economic troubles."<BR/><BR/>I do hope that the plan is more than "window dressing," and more pertinently that stateside politics do not prevent necessary tactical decisions.<BR/><BR/>Education is certainly a key component to long term success. But well-diggers are more important that college kids trying to explain how to grow crops in the high desert to a stubborn people that have done it for centuries. <BR/><BR/>What Obama needs are some good strong NCO's that have been on the ground, care about Victory more than they care about his ego or the letter behind the name of the president.WOTNhttp://waronterrornews.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070229262860530921.post-37415299239794280662009-03-28T16:13:00.000+04:302009-03-28T16:13:00.000+04:30"Pakistan is dealt with as sensibly as possible"In..."Pakistan is dealt with as sensibly as possible"<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents/Afghanistan-Pakistan_White_Paper.pdf" REL="nofollow">In fact</A>, "the core goal of the U.S. must be to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and its safe havens <STRONG>in Pakistan</STRONG>"Greyhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240063027310416411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070229262860530921.post-20793335264909693292009-03-28T12:54:00.000+04:302009-03-28T12:54:00.000+04:30Trust but verify.

We'll be waiting for his next move... <BR/><BR/>I just hope that the nay-sayer's don't have as much influence on the American public as they did with the war in Iraq. <BR/><BR/>IMHO, it's going to be more than a few tough years ahead.
