Up on the main site, I have a column looking at the political peril that lies ahead for Obama on Afghanistan. But it's worth clarifying that I do think Congress will let him have his way with the additional troops. The problems will come as conditions in Afghanistan don't lend themselves to quick fixes and this goes from being Bush's war to Obama's war.

Obama is in denial. This subconsciously leaks out in his statements to the press. The Taliban, were they cagey, would offer him some bullshit sunshine and lollipops peace treaty. Obama'd rush to sign it and pull everybody out.
