The SWJ is well paid? Man, where's my check?

Dorronsoro is a genuine expert on Afghanistan, but I'm afraid of his prescription for the country. Every time I've heard him speak, he is prescribing, in essence, the division of the country --- reinforce in the north and the cities, protect non-Pashtun areas, and essentially concede that Pashtun areas are beyond help.

He also insists that the "McChrystal strategy just died in Helmand." I think that statement's more than a bit premature.
