American Jihad, Part II

We are stumbling blindly through the minefield of countering terrorist radicalization and recruitment inside the United States.

McChrystal vs. Obama

This is the biggest civil-military showdown since Truman and MacArthur.

Get Out of Afghanistan

Obama needs to withdraw our troops and let the Afghans deal with al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

How to Win Afghanistan

Drone attacks alone won’t work. We need boots on the ground to defeat al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

False Analogies

Why We Can't Leave

A top terrorism expert argues against the rising calls for a rapid U.S. departure from Afghanistan. Otherwise we risk another major al-Qaeda attack.

Afghanization

More troops won’t fix Afghanistan. Our best bet is to create Afghan partners who can fight terrorists on their own.

Afghanistan is making progress. But it will need continued American aid if it is to be a functioning country.
