How Republicans Should Talk About Afghanistan

My latest op-ed, on Afghanistan, is appearing in tomorrow's Washington Times. 

This is my first explicitly partisan op-ed, although I think the Times' editors ramp it up with the headline they chose (as opposed to my preference in the post's title).  Some of the key analytical points were inevitably lost cutting the draft by 20% for publication, but I still think the argument holds up.

We'll see whether this unleashes any venom in the comments, although aside from my family, I don't know how many Administration supporters will be reading the Times' op-ed section tomorrow.
