i'm glad that the president is insisting on a plan for afghanistan that includes and exit strategy. but does that mean that all four of the options that he was presented with yesterday didn't have one? what kind of strategy could they be if they don't have an end game? that's the best our military leaders could come up with?
the problem is defining a concrete and realistic goal in afghanistan is hard to do. but that's a reason to leave, not to escalate. if we can't identify what we are trying to accomplish, there's really no point in staying.
