The two main problems in Afghanistan are (a) opium and (2) Pakistan.
There is no suggestion of seriously acting on either problem.

Agreed. There is a classified version though that Obama got and is sitting on.

The pro-America military brass is trying to move Maobama off dead center.

Obama want a couple more months. He wants this so he can rev up more anti-war sentiment in the U.S. This is how the Left "won" the Viet Nam war.....figuratively "on the streets of Berkeley". I look for Obama's operatives to stir up protests on streets and campuses next.

The Left learned EVERYTHING from Viet Nam. Politicize a war and you've got it won.

In the next two months, the question is will the American public fall for the Left's Viet Nam strategy again under a different description.

I think General McChrystal is a patriot and a defender of the lives of his men......and he leaked the report himself through untraceable patriot alllies in or out of the military.

Yeah, I’m aure there’s more about Pakistan in the classified attachments. There was a little news blip about Pakistan the other day which implied more serious attention to the many serious problems there.

Pakistan is today’s Laos/Cambodia and serves as safe haven and logistics for the enemy. It is also where opium and morghine sulfate are converted to heroin, and where much of the whole heroin trafficking begins, thus financing terrorism.

So if those issues are not addressed, nothing else is even remotely serious. Might as well go home.

How North Vietnam Won The War
Taken from The Wall Street Journal, Thursday August 3, 1995

Q: How could the Americans have won the war?
A: Cut the Ho Chi Minh trail inside Laos. If Johnson had granted [Gen. William] Westmoreland’s requests to enter Laos and block the Ho Chi Minh trail, Hanoi could not have won the war.

[Bui Tin, a former colonel in the North Vietnamese army ... served on the general staff of North Vietnam’s army, [personally] received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. He later became editor of the People’s Daily.]
