I have the same questions for President Obama that I had for President Bush.

1. What is the objective in the AF conflict?

2. How will we measure progress/lack of progress toward those objectives?

3. What is the exit criteria for success/failure?

If you read SJ Resolution 23 "Authorization for use of military force", Congress authorized the use of military action but did not state any objectives!!

How can you start a war with no idea how or when to end it???

You can't win a war when you fail to understand the enemy.

You can't win a war when your more concerned about being politically correct.

You can't win a war when your not willing to fight it as a war.

You can't win a war when you refuse to identify who your enemy is.

You can't win a war when you allow the enemy to masquerade as your friend.

Both Bush and Obama failed to comprehend these principles. Thus it will remain a mess.

Ms. Clinton 'puzzled' at Pakistan's goverment lack of knowledge.

Quote:

LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's said on Thursday it was "hard to believe" that no one in Pakistan's government knew where al Qaeda leaders were hiding, striking a new tone on a trip where Washington's credibility has come under attack.

I can't understand why she would be puzzled. After all, she didn't know all those gifts were under her bed or wherever they were......

She should know, it happens? I mean, like she said then, whats the big deal, right?
