Stalingrad in Central Asia

President Obama seems likely to propose sending more US troops to Afghanistan:

Many of President Barack Obama's top advisers on Afghanistan agree with military commanders that more troops are needed to reverse Taliban gains in the country's east and south, U.S. officials said on Monday.


I remain intensely worried about putting more troops into Afghanistan when we don't have secure lines of supply to the landlocked country.

We're already at the limit of how many brigades I feel comfortable risking there should things go totally balls-up. And we're to send more, it seems.

Is our military really unworried about supplying our troops in that God forsaken place for years on end?
