What's Happening in Afghanistan?
Kudos to the NY Times for its reporting in the past couple of weeks on the operations around Marja, Afghanistan, a Taliban stronghold. This assessment of how the Afghan troops are doing seems even-handed, if pessimistic.
Do you think C.J. Chivers is hoping to have something to do with getting Captain Amanullah replaced? The Captain would do well in Chicago politics.

While it's certainly interesting to follow the Marja offensive... We won't really know anything about the success for months to come. We're currently in the "clear" phase of "clear, hold, and build". It's all for naught if the second and third phases go badly.
