Why Obama is wrong on Afghanistan

President Obama outlined his Afghanistan strategy this week and he has got it quite amazingly wrong. the surge of an additional 30,000 troops is one thing but telling your opponents when you plan to leave is sheer stupidity, his strategy has little to do with 'winning' in Afghanistan and everything to do with the US political cycle.

I am not even sure what 'winning' means in relation to Afghanistan any more, if I ever did.

I was never convinced by the invasion of Afghanistan and certainly convinced we should no longer be there. It is time for the occupying forces to withdraw.
