My last post voiced an opinion that the situation in Iraq has become much better (stable) than it's been since 2003. This is good. However, to bring us back to reality in relation to the position the United States finds itself in the world…the difficult challenges in Afghanistan await. More troops are on the way. Senior military leaders advise that very difficult days lie ahead…days that will stretch to years no doubt.
Fighting the "real" war (Afghanistan versus Iraq) was an often heated topic of debate during the last Presidential campaign. Well, here we are, and the reality of Afghanistan now being "the" war is going to test the commitment of those now in charge.
