We are wrong to question the arguments put forth by policymakers on the threat Afghanistan (or Pakistan) poses to our country because the policymakers and military generals close to the battlefield understand the war better than we can and while they don't know the language of peace America has no interest in cutting and running before we are able to stabilize a region that many empires have failed to stabilize for decades.
Obama steps up to the podium or lectern at 8 pm ET. He will be seeking public acquiescence. He will be pushing people to ??trust ? him and take the carrot he has offered --- an exit strategy slated for 2017 that anyone familiar with politics know could easily become 2020 or 2025.
