"By investing just 10 more Friedman Units, ..."

Who has the President’s ear ?

In today’s NY Times, warmonger Max Boot boasts that General Petraeus spent funds appropriated to fight the war in Afghanistan to bring Max there for a 10-day, all expenses paid tour of the front.  

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10…

Even if all the opportunity costs could be monetized, the total cost of this PR boondoggle was probably less than $50K.  

What did the politician in charge of that war, GEN Petraeus, get for that investment ?  A tribute to that same politician’s military genius:

“… Afghanistan’s corruption problem, like its security problem, can be best addressed by additional troops.”  

Recall that the “McChrystal Analysis” and the “McChrystal Troop Request” were actually drawn up by a team of advisors that was selected by Petraeus.  

.

Is Judith Miller back at the Times ?  I know that Michael Gordon is still on their payroll.  

Everyone up and down the chain of command has publicly acknowledged that we cannot achieve success in Afghanistan, however we might define it, through military force.  

But the debate on the way forward is apparently limited to one military strategy or another.

Colorado tie-in ?

When Max Boot or Richard Perle writes a check for four more wars, the check is cashed paid in the blood of Fort Carson soldiers.
