US - Trump Has Picked America’s Enemies in Russia Over Its Friends in Europe
Affter his most recent trip abroad, the president deserves credit for consistency — but not much else.The final absurdity was Putin and Trump’s discussion of, as Trump tweeted, “forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded.”

Opinion - More Afghan cuts, more war
Leaving 120,000 demobilized Afghan troops and cops without a paycheck and with few legitimate job options in an anemic economy would be a recipe for disaster.

Frenemies in Pakistan
The fact remains that the Quetta Shura and the Haqqani Network operate from Pakistan with impunity. Extremist organizations serving as proxies of the government of Pakistan are attacking Afghan troops and civilians as well as U.S. soldiers. For example, we believe the Haqqani Network—which has long enjoyed the support and protection of the Pakistani government and is, in many ways, a strategic arm of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Agency—is responsible for the September 13th attacks against the U.S. embassy in Kabul. There is ample evidence confirming that the Haqqanis were behind the June 28th attack against the Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul and the September 10th truck bomb attack that killed five Afghans and injured another 96 individuals, 77 of whom were U.S. soldiers.

Send the State Department to War
The State Department has announced that it will force 50 foreign service officers to go to Iraq, whether they want to or not. This is the biggest use of "directed assignments" since the Vietnam War, and it represents a long-overdue response to complaints that diplomats aren't pulling their weight in Iraq and Afghanistan.

An Iraq To-Do List . How we can help the surge succeed
Since February, General David Petraeus and his team in Baghdad have been implementing classic counterinsurgency precepts that have worked wherever they have been tried in adequate strength over a sustained period of time--from the Philippines and South Africa in the early 1900s to Malaya in the 1950s, El Salvador in the 1980s, and Northern Ireland in the 1990s.

Radical Ideas for Iraq - The current strategy isn't working. We either need more troops or a lot fewer.
President Bush admitted in late July that the security situation in Baghdad was "terrible" and announced that he was sending more troops to quell the violence. Because this is what I advocated in a May 24 column, I should be happy with the president's decision. But, alas, as with so many American initiatives in Iraq, it's too little, too late.

Luchar por la nacionalidad
Casualmente leí hace poco dos de los mejores libros de memorias militares que se hayan publicado alguna vez: “Bugles and a Tiger” (Clarines y un tigre) y “The Road Past Mandalay” (El camino más allá de Mandalay). Ambos fueron escritos por John Masters, un oficial británico con talento literario que se unió al Ejército de la India en 1934, participó en una de las últimas campañas imperiales en la Frontera Nororiental, invadió Irak para derrocar a un dictador pro-alemán en 1941 y lideró una brigada de comando que operaba detrás de las líneas japonesas en Birmania.

The 500-Mile-Per-Gallon Solution
Soaring oil prices -- crude is over $55 a barrel and unleaded gasoline over $2 a gallon -- are not much of an economic or political issue. Yet.
