Afghan War Review is Brutally Honest
The five-page summary of the two-month review, which did not mention Afghan President Hamid Karzai at all, was released on Thursday but has been criticized by Afghans and aid groups as overly optimistic.
Five pages?! Obviously the guy in charge isn't a liberal or it would be 5,000.
And I'll bet NGOs would prefer quiet to progress any day of the week. I think I'll ignore their bleatings for now.
Five pages, summary, two months. How long is the full report, the one that isn't mentioned, of not only the past eight weeks but of the past year and the past eight years? |
