At least we're winning Afghanistan

Read an interesting story in Rolling Stone that I recommend you take a look at. It's about a reporter that manages to embed himself deep into the Taliban territory and speak with some of the local Taliban commanders. He almost gets himself Daniel Pearl'd, but squeaks out with some frantic phone calls to the right people.

My favorite line from the article is this fitting analogy:

"More troops are not the answer," a senior United Nations official in Kabul tells me. "You will not make more babies by having many guys screw the same woman."


His logic is indisputable.
