Five Ways to Win Afghan War by Andrew Exum - Foreign Policy Magazine

Andrew Exum, a former infantry officer, has penned an article that provides five ways to help win the war in Afghanistan.  The steps are 1) cut funding for the war as the aid is being misspent and much of the money is put into the pockets of corrupt Afghan officials 2) compromise on combat enablers - helicopters may be more important than an infantry battalion 3) find a way to replace Ambassador Holbrooke 4) leverage the corrupt Afghan officials through family members with U.S. passports 5) cut back troops but commit to the long fight.  Read his article in "5 Ways to Win the War in Afghanistan", Foreign Policy Magazine, December 15, 2010.
