I’ve been a bit busy to write anything major.
Here is something I wrote about why the war in Afghanistan faces the same strategic challenges as Iraq. In other words, it’s a bit facile for Obama and others to propose a mere shift in resources without more. Unfortunately, the posting got invaded by 9/11 Truthers.
A good piece on the herky-jerky nature of military procurement, with a specific discussion of controversies surrounding the new Marine body armor.
Larry Auster compares Obama’s Church to a Nuremberg Rally. Nice.
William Lind reminds us that Fourth Generation Warfare and terrorism are not only features of the Middle East, as illustrated by the degeneration of state authority in Mexico.
Finally, a piece showing how the candidates’ positions on Iraq are nearly identical. If the Democratic Congress is any indicator, expect many weasel-worded statements of caution rather than a precipitous withdrawal.
