The Center for a New American Security held a press briefing on the occasion of Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s visit to D.C. with its counterinsurgency mafia yesterday, including president and reigning COIN evangelist John Nagl, Andrew Exum, and former Afghan commander ret. Gen. David Barno, who just recently joined CNAS. I’ve been a fan of Barno since 2004, when I was in Afghanistan, he and Zalmay Khalilzad were running the show, and the counterinsurgency effort there to all appearances seemed to be working. How much of that was due to the fact that the Taliban were still very much on their heels after being scattered by the U.S. backed Northern Alliance and how much was due to the command pursuing COIN best practices, I’m not sure. Barno said the tension between Afghan commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal and Amb. Karl Eikenberry is overplayed.

Very great post to hang on.. I’m very amazed with this article. Looking for more info.
Thank you for creating valuable info regarding the topic. I’m an admirer of your blog. Keep up the good work.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
I do not think I have it in me to keep up with maintaining a site like it! Excellent piece of work, I just hope you keep going for a long time.
5. Make your own videos by downloading a season, opening the file in Windows Movie Maker, and mass producing clips by using storyboard and just dragging different sets of clips into a section that already has a title and credits with your link.
BPshould rot in hell for what they have caused.
Wonderful work buddy, continue the good work.
I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you too.
