Welcome to the Quagmire, al Qaeda
Joseph Lieberman, US Sen. (Ind.D-CT) | February 6, 2009
No-one in their right mind would go up against the combined forces of Gen. Petraeus, Amb. Holbrooke, Defence Sec. Gates, Sec. of State Clinton and the Iraq-hardened US military. ++ But a US victory still needs coherence of military and regional strategy, increased civilian capacity and improved cooperation with allies. ++ Add Afghani hatred for Taliban-imposed tyranny and poverty and Obama's commitment to victory, and the position of al Qaeda looks poor. ++ The defeat of terror will come through an empowered and expanded Muslim majority.
