Andrew Exum spoke on All Things Considered today explaining portions of the new Afgan strategy. I thought that he did an excellent job describing the SFA/Partnering plan for the next two years and in detailing how there will most likely be a spike in violence and higher casualties. However, I believe that he fell a bit short in defining anything towards what success/victory will be and how we hope to get there.

Worth listening to. It ties in well with several on-going discussions in the SWC.
