Our Lack of Imagination About What To Do in Afghanistan Posted by Michael Cohen

Over the weekend, I was catching up on my New Yorker reading and came across George Packer's latest piece on Afghanistan. After about a half dozen paragraphs cogently laying out all the reasons why our current strategy in Afghanistan has not been working - and likely will not work - he makes this flabbergasting statement:

No one, however, has been able to come up with an alternative to the current strategy that doesn’t carry great risks. If there were a low-cost way to contain the interconnected groups of extremists in the Hindu Kush—with drones and Special Forces, as Vice-President Biden, among others, has urged—the President would have pursued it. If a return to power of the Taliban, which may well be the outcome of a U.S. withdrawal, did not pose a threat to international security, Obama would have already abandoned Karzai to his fate. But anyone who believes that a re-Talibanized Afghanistan would be a low priority should read the kidnapping narratives of two American journalists, Jere Van Dyk and David Rohde, who were held by the Taliban, along with the autobiography of the former Taliban official known as Mullah Zaeef. Together, these accounts show that the years since 2001 have radicalized the insurgents and imbued them with Al Qaeda’s global agenda. Tactically and ideologically, it’s more and more difficult to distinguish local insurgents from foreign jihadists.

This is an incredibly frustrating example of the real lack of imagination that seems to define a great deal of commentary about the war in Afghanistan. First of all, the notion that the Taliban would even be able to take over the country - or that would be the country's fate if we didn't maintain the current failing strategy - is just a bizarrely far-fetched notion. As Michael Semple noted in a conference I attended last week there isn't exactly a lot of love for the Taliban in Afghanistan (particularly outside the Pashtun-dominated south and east) and every reason to believe that there are severe limits on the ability of the group to take over wide swaths of the country.

Second, the very idea that the Taliban pose a threat to international security is, for lack of a better word, laughable. Instead of reading David Rodhe and Van Dyk, perhaps George Packer should listen to Leon Panetta say there are only about 50-100 al Qaeda in Afghanistan and then try to figure out why this meager AQ presence requires troops levels of 100,000 troops. As Fareed Zakaria noted recently we lost 100 soldiers alone last month in Afghanistan - more than the entire AQ presence in the country. Simple common sense would suggest that even if the Taliban were able to take over Afghanistan they would be insane to give al Qaeda a safe haven - and what's more the US would clearly have the wherewithal and the inclination to militarily eradicate any significant al Qaeda presence there. The notion that removing our presence from Afghanistan - in its current form - would return the country to pre-9/11 days just seems incredibly simplistic.

Does Packer really believe that our current $100 billion a year commitment is the only means of combating the al Qaeda threat? Does he believe that this is an appropriate and measured response to a terrorist organization that has not launched a major attack against the US in nearly 9 years? 

I continue to be amazed and befuddled that otherwise intelligent people don't see the current mission in Afghanistan as an utterly bizarre over-reaction to whatever limited threat al Qaeda actually poses - and seem congenitally incapable of imagining any other potential US strategy.

For example, Packer argues there are no alternatives to the current policy AND there is no low-cost way to the contain the terrorists who reside in the Hindu Kush.

Here's Sean Kay arguing for a containment strategy

Here's Gilles Dorronsorro making the case for political negotiations

Here's Austin Grant Long making the case for a CT approach

Here's me arguing for an approach that stresses regional prioritization

To be sure these plans each have their flaws and none of them are a silver bullet, but they are clearly alternatives to the current strategy at a far less significant cost.

The fact that folks like Packer - and others in the commentariat - are unable to imagine a world in which we can do something different than a) what we are currently doing or b) getting the hell out of Afghanistan ASAP is just impossible for me to understand. 

There are alternatives to our current, failing strategy in Afghanistan - why is everyone so afraid to talk about them?

It ugg boots clearance may be good news for the Democrats that many people didn’t seem to get the word about this big event, or even exactly which party is in charge. According to a Pew Research Center poll released last week ugg boots clearance, “Fewer than half (46%) know that the Republicans will have a majority only in the House of Representatives when the new Congress convenes in January, while 38% can identify John Boehner as the incoming House speaker.” Nancy Pelosi should just keep showing up every day as if nothing has changed, like Milton Waddams in Office Space ugg boots clearance. She can go cubicle to cubicle asking if anyone has her red stapler, and see how long it takes to get tossed out on her ear ugg boots clearance.

Then again ugg boots clearance, you can be sure that a lot of the fired-up Tea Partiers know exactly what they accomplished this election cycle. So some of the 54 percent who don’t understand must be Democrats who aren’t paying close attention ugg boots clearance, which is one of the reasons the party finds itself in this electoral mess. The paying-attention wing of the party is left to ponder what—to it—are seemingly contradictory thoughts among the voting public. According to a Rasmussen poll last week, slightly more than half of Americans (51 percent) say it is possible to achieve a balanced federal budget without raising taxes ugg boots outlet. But many Democrats believe raising taxes is an absolute necessity to balance the budget and dig out of the $1.4 trillion annual hole we’re in. An increasing number of Americans just don’t trust them to do it right, and with good reason. Most people think the government wastes money ugg boots outlet.

Al's Protection Racket operated out of Manhattan, Kansas. Despite the name, it was a small, insurance-oriented police service with about twenty thousand customers, all within one hundred kilometers of the main shop. But apparently "Al" was some kind of humorist: His ads had a gangster motif with his cops dressed like twentieth century hoodlums. Wil Brierson guessed that it was all part of the nostalgia thing. Even the Michigan State Police - Wil's outfit - capitalized on the public's feeling of trust for old names, old traditions.
Even so, there's something more dignified about a company with louis vuitton outlet a name like "Michigan State Police," thought Brierson as he brought his flier down on the pad next to Al's HQ. He stepped out of the cockpit into an eerie morning silence: It was close to sunrise, yet the sky remained dark, the air humid. Thunderheads march around half the horizon. A constant flicker of lightning chased back and forth within those clouds, yet there was not the faintest sound of thunder. He had seen a tornado killer on his way in, a lone eagle in the far sky. The weather was almost as ominous as the plea East Lansing HQ had received from Al's just four hours earlier.
A spindly figure came bouncing out of the shadows. "Am I glad to see you! The name's Alvin Swensen. I'm the proprietor." He shook Wil's hand enthusiastically. "I was afraid you might wait till the front passed though." Swensen was dressed ugg boots clearancein baggy pants and a padded jacket that would have made Frank Nitti proud. The local police chief urged the other officer up the steps. No one else was outside; the place seemed just as deserted as one might expect a rural police station early on a weekday morning. Where was the emergency?

They all wanted to know what his escape route was, but all he'd say was, "Upstairs. And we'd better hurry."
Finally they were all ready to go. The kerosene lamp was left burning, and they all trooped after Jimmy up the stairs. Andy carried the suitcase, Stan carried the portable TV, Mom carried the hibachi, and John carried the flashlight. When Jimmy led the way into his room, John said, "Some day I got to find out how he does that."
Jimmy picked up UGG Boots Clearance the Air France bag. "I packed when I was going to escape," he said. "Can I keep it all?"
"Sure," May told him.
"Thanks." To John he said, "We'll have to turn the flashlight off now."
John switched off the flashlight. "I just want to know what we're doing," he said.
Jimmy briefly explained UGG Boots Clearance what he had done here, and was greeted with a kind of awed silence. Then he said, "We'll have to go out one at a time. I don't think the rope would be strong enough for more than that."
Andy went first, with Ugg boots clearance the suitcase. Then Stan's Mom went, having trouble squeezing through the space, with her son shoving and holding and helping the best he can. "I can't bring the hibachi," she whispered. "I need both hands on the rope."
"I'll bring the damn hibachi," John told her.
Stan helped his mother for the first part down the rope and Andy down below helped her for the last part. Then May went down, and after her, Stan. John said, "You next."
"No, I'll go last," Jimmy said. "I'll fix the boards over the window again, the way I did last time. I already Ugg boots clearance locked the door, while everybody else was going down."
"From the inside?"
"Sure," Jimmy said.
John made some sort of guttural noise in his throat. "All right," he said. "I'll go next."
John went down one-handed, carrying the hibachi. Then Jimmy, the Air France bag over his shoulder again, went out the window for the third and final time. He was very adept Ugg boots clearance by now at replacing the boards, and then he skimmed down the rope and joined the others. "All set," he whispered.
"You want to lead the way?" John asked him. It didn't sound sarcastic, it sounded mostly heavy and fatalistic.

ugg boots clearance On my Egypt Air flight yesterday to Cairo, I witnessed one of the more intriguing in-flight exchanges that I can remember. A bearded, well-dressed man sitting a few seats behind me began shouting at the flight attendant. He was complaining that the in-flight movie was inappropriate. What are these “offensive images?” he asked. These included a 15-minute stretch of the movie where at least one woman at any given time was wearing a bikini. In a couple of scenes at a club, members of opposite sexes were dancing in close proximity while, it appeared, consuming alcoholic beverages. “Are we really all Westernized now?” the man behind me asked,ugg boots clearance as if posing a question to those of us in the back of the plane.

The man’s arguments were rather interesting. He pointed out that if you took a poll of the passengers,ugg boots outlet most would agree the film was morally offensive. He asked the attendant, “if we ask the passengers what they think and they agree with me, then what will you do?” The attendant responded, “we don’t take public opinion (ra’i al ‘am) on the airplane.” The man was right: most passengers, and most Egyptians – the vast majority of whom don’t drink, go to clubs, or wear bikinis – would object to the film’s content. But at what point do they have the right to restrict minority expressions of unfaithfulness?ugg boots clearance

It was an odd, amusing exchange that justified the otherwise unpleasant experience of flying on EgyptAir.ugg boots clearance But it was a reminder of the fundamental lack of consensus in the Arab world over the boundaries and limits of the state. There are two groups – Islamists and secular elites – with worldviews which couldn’t be more different. They live parallel lives in parallel worlds, with parallel institutions. They rarely intersect.ugg boots clearance One group believes it has both history and the Egyptian people on its side. The other side, considerably smaller in number, likely has neither. It does, however, have the power.

This stalemate has paralyzed the Arab world for decades now.ugg boots outlet

Sunday’s elections will be just another version of this.ugg boots clearance The main players are the Muslim Brotherhood – populist, religious, and righteous – and the regime coalition which, with its president soon to pass, finds itself in an uncertain place. Both sides are strong in different ways – and weak in others. Neither seems to have anything resembling a coherent strategy for dealing with the impending transition that is soon to come.
