BBC News: Reports that both Afghanistan and Pakistan have welcomed the Obama review of US policy in the region. As stated many times in this blog, the policy will not work, President Obama is making the same mistake as LBJ did over Vietnam. The President is now tied to the War, the troop increase and the support for civic structure of Afghanistan makes it his War. The increase of drone attacks in Pakistan makes it his problem, Obama cant allow Pakistan to fail. This has nothing to do with morality, Pakistan is a nuclear power, a failed Pakistan under the control of the Taliban/Terrorists would be a major threat to Western Security. The West will be in Afghanistan for years, more deaths of our brave soldiers. To quote the old line, this is a War without End.
