Not so fast. It didn’t happen on your watch – not the start and not the finish: “The end” of dumping our future into a hole that swallows precious lives and future generations. Stop the war. " “Gates,... The Mouths that Roared
The line in the story is “the month that roared.” But, I feel somehow that Obama roared this month and so did Hillary. They acted forcefully in response to Qaddafi and they have been aggressive on the... Libya instance of foreign policy on the fly
McCain is pushing a no-fly zone. Gates says hold on there. Obama says, let’s sort it out. The trouble with this picture is the absence of a clear U. S. Foreign Policy that defines if, when, and how the U. S.... What doesn’t Military get about Executive in Charge?
The Commander in Chief is in charge of the military. A civilian Secretary of Defense manages the Military. The Commander in Chief defines the outcome and the Military’s job is to produce the means. The... “Cognitively challenged generals"

When you know that the end is near, the only hope that you have of turning Afghanistan into a positive direction is to win the hearts and minds of civilians. We’re even trying to turn the hearts and minds of the... Cooperation not optional: State and Defense
US State and Defense departments operate under one master integrator, and that is President Obama. General Petraeus is the man for all wars, a man ’o war who seeks a peaceful outcome. We need this kind of... War by committee—remember Vietnam?
Vietnam was a fiasco and ended in disaster because the executive branch and congress were at odds and the military was given impossible direction and conflicting support. In the case of Afghanistan, America’s... Gates hints at U.S.-India war against Pakistan, al Qaeda
The brazen attack on Kabul on Monday with the earlier atttack on December 30 at the CIA Chapman forward operating base at Khost has left the U.S. weighing its options what to do with the so-called bastard child of... 154 views | 3 recommendations | 3 comments
