    Wow, something Obama and McCain sound like they agree on. Wouldn’t this require a draw-down of forces in Iraq? Or are the daily reports we’re hearing of the armed forces being stretched paper thin already greatly exaggerated?

    So is McCain coming to the same conclusion as the inexperienced guy that didn’t even pay a visit to the region to discuss stuff with the commanders on the ground? Interesting…

    What’s that about those who ignore history …

    The USSR couldn’t contain the Afghans and stamp out the poppies and I doubt we can either. An uneasy stalemate of some sort is about all we can expect to achieve. With adequate aerial surveillance, air support, and limited temporary Special Forces insertions we might partially contain them. Let’s not repeat the USSR’s failed ground strategy.
