The Baltimore Sun Calls for New Afghan Strategy

The Baltimore Sun has called for the withdrawal of most U.S. forces from Afghanistan.  It says that we have reached a stalemate in Afghanistan. While we can kill the Taliban mid-level leadership in large numbers they have the ability to regenerate.  The sanctuaries in Pakistan still exist due to Pakistan's two-faced policy towards the war, Karzai is ineffective, corrupt and an undependable ally.  The Sun says we should keep a small Special Forces contingent and drones in the war to hit al Qaeda targets when they appear and withdraw the bulk of our forces.  See "The longest war", The Baltimore Sun, December 15, 2010.
