ISN'T THE GLOBAL STRATEGY TO FIGHT THE WAR MORE AGGRESSIVELY, AND HAVE COURAGE TO SUPPORT THE ALLIES WE HAVE THERE? IT WILL BE A LONG, HARD SLOG, BUT WHAT MUST BE REALIZED IS THAT THE ALTERNATIVE TO LEAVING WOULD RESULT IN DISASTER.
I think Bacevich made the point that a focus on Afghanistan without a huge shift in global strategy is wrongheaded. A stronger military presence in that particular country, even if successful, will only chase the bad guys into Pakistan which can be even more disastrous.
