Rick,
Thanks for posting this. I'd have never seen it unless you did.
This is the first thing I've heard about this war which makes me even consider that something might be done and made permanent.
How would we know if the Arabs are done there? Not that I doubt the veracity of the author, rather what independent confirmation might there be?
I do hope to God he is right and that we can for a mere $4B/annum keep Afghanistan on the road to civilization. I do hope so.
Thanks again Rick. Please keep posting this stuff.
Ah yes, a very succinct expression of but one aspect of, "The Cowboy Way." I like it. Excellent.
