Ted Galen Carpenter has taken his generic "run away from our enemies and foes" article and done the universal find and replace to put "Afghanistan" into his analysis.
It's all the same whether he's talking about Iraq, North Korea, Russia, Iran, China, or Afghanistan.
Is there any enemy Carpenter isn't willing to run from--and dress it up as nuanced hard-nosed thinking?
The man is as ill-informed as Zakaria.
