#1 Just goes to show, you never know what you'll get with George Will. He'll write a stupid piece about blue jeans or a humbug piece about gift giving at Christmas, then he'll hit a grand slam like this one.

#2 The Bammer's 30,000 troops decision also means that the econ hard-pressed USA will have to spend more foreign aid &&& up front to ensure that the local AFGHAN = AFPAK GOVT-POLICE AUTHORITIES are competent to take over once the per se US drawdowns begin. RADICAL ISLAMIST MILIT GROUPS, ON THEIR PART, HAVE ALL OF ASIA'S NON-AFPAK REGIONS TO CREATE NEW MAYHEM, i.e. WESTERN CHINA + NORTHERN INDJUH + CENTRAL ASIA + RUSSIA-CAUCASUS, aka "attacking where the US = US-NATO are NOT" [Cold War].

* Armed Taliban = Islamist Militants are repor allegedly sleeping un-challenged by any inside the BARRACKS QUARTERS OF CORRUPT LOCAL POLICE WHOM ACCEPT BRIBES FROM ALL SIDES???

* Also, e.g. TOPIX/WORLD NEWS > WHERE DID ALL THE TALIBAN GO?
