Afghanistan Mission Creep Watch - The Mission Creep Version
Posted by Michael Cohen

President Barak Obama today on the Sunday news shows talking about Afghanistan:

“When we came in, basically, there had been had been drift in our Afghan strategy. Everybody acknowledges that,” Obama said. “We lost that focus for a while and you started seeing a classic case of mission creep, where we’re just there and we start taking on a whole bunch of different missions.”

Obama also told CNN that narrowing the focus of U.S. operations in Afghanistan will also improve the chances of tracking down and killing Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.

“If we have a overarching strategy that reminds us every day that that’s our focus… we have a better chance of capturing and killing him and certainly keeping Al Qaida on the run than if we start drifting into a whole bunch of other missions that really aren't related to what is our essential strategic problem and rationale for being there,” the president said.

Well that is something. Am I crazy to think that the chances of the US sending more troops to Afghanistan is looking like a 50/50 possibility?
