Nearly Losing My Life Made Me Want

I Do Not Believe That A Counterterrorism Strategy All By Itself, Without A Sufficient Level Of Counterinsurgency, Will Work.

Obviously What I Think Senator [john] Kerry Was Pointing To, Which Is Absolutely Correct, Which Is The Essential Part Of The Strategy Or A Key Component Or A Leg On The Stool, Is An Afghan Partner That Is Ready To Take Control Of Both The Security Situation In Afghanistan, And The Civilian Side Of That.

When It Comes To Federal Elections Law, Tom Delay And His Special-interest Friends Live By One Set Of Rules, And Everyone Else Lives By A Very Different Set.

I Mean,you Will Have An Afghan Government. There Are Two Roads Here. One Is Obviously A Run-off Election Or A Negotiated Settlement. But What's Most Important About That Process Is That There's A Credibility And A Legitimacy To The Government At The End Of That Process. So Which Road They Choose, That's Up To Them. It Must Have - Be Legitimate And Credible In The Eyes Of The Afghan People.

I Like What I Read, I Find It Intellectually Engaging And I Don't Really Have That Much Time, So I Gotta Make Every Bit Count. I Read Magazines And Stuff Like That, But If I'm Going To Read A Book, I Want To Come Out Smarter. It's Not To Escape, It's To Learn.
