September 4, 2010 – Mr Haass raises important “questions” for which the answers are still somewhat vague. Just because you declare and “end to combat operations” doesn’t mean combat is over. The 50,000 troops we have in Iraq are not Peace Corps volunteers.

September 4, 2010 – Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Tough call regardless of your views on Afghanistan. All the more reason for the Afghanistan government and those that support “the better angels” to get on board and learn to take care of themselves.
