Atenas y Jerusalén. Sobre la necesidad del valor
17 de Marzo de 2010
Los retos que estos eventos plantean son representativos de aquellos a los que todas las naciones civilizadas se enfrentan. No son tan complicados. Para abordarlos no hace falta una extraordinaria delicadeza de pensamiento o la exquisita elevación del alma. Basta con el sentido común y el valor.
Slow-motion Tet. Al Qaeda is counting on sapping our will, and persuading America to choose to lose a war it could win
25 de Junio de 2007
Last week, a group of tribal leaders in Salah-ad-Din, the mostly Sunni province due north of Baghdad, agreed to work with the Iraqi government and U.S. forces against al Qaeda. Then al Qaeda destroyed the two remaining minarets of the al-Askariya mosque in Samarra, a city in the province. Coincidence? Perhaps.
Congress Gives In On War Funding. Now can we fight the enemy?
29 de Mayo de 2007
The war over the war in Washington is quiet for the moment. Congress has finally appropriated funds for America's warriors without setting a deadline for their defeat. Now the president can turn his undivided attention to fighting the enemies who are attacking our soldiers.
All We Are Saying . . .Is Give Petraeus a Chance
29 de Enero de 2007
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has returned from her visit to Iraq with a bold (if not entirely new) recommendation: Congress should vote to cap the number of U.S. forces the president can deploy to Iraq.
A Perfect Failure
12 de Diciembre de 2006
To say that this is not a new idea is an understatement. Donald Rumsfeld and top military officials have from the beginning of the occupation three years ago aimed to do precisely what the Baker-Hamilton group now recommends. In 2003, the Pentagon set a goal of reducing the forces from 130,000 to 30,000 by the end of the year, handing responsibility for Iraq to the newly formed Iraqi army.
La rendición disfrazada de «realismo»
04 de Diciembre de 2006
El realismo en política exterior está en auge estos días, nos dicen. De ser cierto, sería alentador, porque nuestra política exterior tiene por fuerza que ser realista. Pero lo que hoy se presenta como «realismo» tiene muy poco que ver con la realidad.
Time for a Heavier Footprint
29 de Noviembre de 2006
Before coming to Washington, Abizaid had spent several days in Iraq, consulting with the military commanders on the ground. Considering the importance of this testimony and the effort Abizaid made to prepare for it, it is unfortunate that he offered an inadequate proposal for change in response to the deteriorating situation in Iraq.
La herencia del Irak de Bush
22 de Noviembre de 2006
El presidente tiene dos años para dar un vuelco a las cosas y dejar al próximo presidente un Irak viable. Debería ser obvio que 'mantener el curso' es la receta del fracaso. Lo mismo que las estrategias de salida políticamente encaminadas. Al presidente le queda la elección: abandonar, o hacer lo que sea necesario para tener éxito.
More Troops. The Consensus for a Larger Army Is about as Complete as It Could Be
04 de Octubre de 2006
You can hardly read a story about Iraq these days without seeing an Army or Marine officer say he doesn't have enough troops to accomplish his mission. Senior officers respond that this is what junior commanders always say.
Unacceptable? Is the America of 2006 more willing to thwart the unacceptable than the France of 1936?
25 de Abril de 2006
According to the New York Times, 'One of President Bush's most senior foreign policy advisers' recently told a group of academics, 'The problem is that our policy has been all carrots and no sticks. And the Iranians know it.'
