Empty words from the leadership about Afghanistan

"We have defined time frame for our strategy"

-Prime Minister Gillard-


"Why would you pull out when you are making the best progress you have ever made? Why, why would you do it? We need to stay the course."

-Australian Defence Force chief Angus Houston-

Good reading here to get them up to speed. While not perfect (it has less mistakes than the current strategy) the Lind work on 4-gen warfare has some good points.

By telling the enemy a date that we will get out, you have already guaranteed defeat. In the end, let us just get out.

"I see light at the end of the tunnel."

-Walt W. Rostow, U.S. National Security Adviser, Dec. 1967-
