From the Financial TIme:
"Seven years ago, Dick Cheney proclaimed: “The Taliban is out of business,
permanently.” Last week, the former vice-president came close to accusing Barack
Obama of lacking the guts to “do what it takes” to win the war against the very
same Taliban. Some time in the next two weeks, Mr Obama is likely to bring
months of agonised deliberation to a close when he decides how many more troops
to send to Afghanistan. The number, which could be as high as the 40,000
recommended by Stanley McChrystal, the general in charge, will be analysed
minutely for what it can achieve on the ground in Afghanistan."
