Thanks. That is one Pakistani Officer who understands the problem and the solution. Lately I've been thinking that the reason we aren't fighting the required bottom up war, may be because it will not create enough promotion possibilities/opportunities for West Point generals and Annapolis admirals. That may seem sarcastic...but hey who the heck do you think is getting big promotions for running this war, I can't think of a single instance were we helped install a corrupt government, financed by US dollars, that led to a successful accomplishment of our long-term strategic goals. We can do this right. It won't be by unending gunfights. One of the most, if not the most, important card we have yet to see, is General McChrystal's proposed next move after the additional troops accomplish his quick goals. The true measurements of success can only be defined after most blood shed has ended. 8 years of seemingly little to no success has already wilted a lot of flowers in America. Do we have still have the will to prevail? Does Obama have it?
