Seasonal slanted news/worst kind of yellow journalism
David:
Your analysis, my two cents, is dead on right and correct.
Once our Congress is back in session so called public opinion will shift heavily, again.
The terrorists in Pakistan are being destroyed from within tribes rising up to kill of the Taliban and al Qaida.
We need the same thing inside Afghanistan.
I would rather have war lords on our side than allow the Taliban and al Qaida to win outright.
I would guess that amongst scholars, elites, etc in the US the recent upsurge in people who think we should leave is most likely attributable to some of the more negative (some very negative) appraisals of conflict. I haven't thought it was a good strategic decision for a while, but it is certainly becoming a more popular position now.

Having the warlords "on our side" (HA!) may have just set the stage for the Taliban and Al Queda to win outright.
