Now There's a Novel Approach - Strategy


This should get a lot of brass noses out of joint. An informal meeting of NATO foreign ministers is scheduled for this week. At the meeting, French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner "will express the need for the alliance to develop a true strategy in Afghanistan."

Hmm, a true strategy, why didn't we think of that before? Of course, Kouchner's true strategy will have to be wrapped around the addition of a few hundred French combat troops for eastern Afghanistan. Mr. Kouchner's true strategy probably overlooks the need for many thousands of additional combat troops but no matter.

Memo to the Big Cod. You're being outed by a Frenchman who says NATO generals have been screwing around over there these last six years without a "true strategy."
