The New York Times published an article in which is the possibility that the U.S. will change dramatically in the Afghan war strategy. A change is already in the past months, after the anti-Taliban offensive and the decision to move troops into residential areas to protect them, rather than urge the students of religion in their mountain valleys. General McChrystal has also called for more attention to relations with civilians (a new form of relationship with the company, which serves to reneder less odious foreign presence: the classic recipe for Italian troops). But today we talk about something really new. The NYT said to have an idea of \u200b\u200bJoe Biden: fewer troops, devoted to hunt down groups linked to al Qaeda. And the Taliban and Afghanistan Fuck them. That is, we return to the original nature of the U.S. presence there. It would be very popular in the U.S. and elsewhere, it would save a lot of money and human lives ... but, with the regional situation changed so much since 2001, the U.S. can not afford to stay in that quadrant of the Earth? It will be interesting to see him. However it will not be a choice in the coming days. Expect sparks to the Pentagon and the generals. "Damn white-collar workers in Washington," cursed John Wayne in "The Green Berets".
