Europe Afghanistan NATO America

Hillary Clinton is now at NATO HQ begging “our allies” (NOT!) for more warm bodies to send to the Afghanistan meat grinder. So far, some 7,000 European souls are being pledged from 26 nations. What is hopeful is that both France and Germany say their will wait for what the United Nations has to say. Let’s hope that both of the EU’s core Member States have a long wait and that the report from the UN is discouraging.

The reality is that Afghanistan is hopeless, unless the Afghanis assume responsibility for their own security. The reality is that, sooner or later, both Afghanistan and Iraq have to stand or fall on their own.
