Click on title to link to an October 27, 2009 "The Washington Post" article (via the United For Justice With Peace website) concerning the resignation of a middle level foreign service officer who knows Afghanistan well.
Markin comment:
It is at this level, the middle level on the ground, that when the resignations start you know something is desperately wrong with bourgeois war policy thinking. Expect more. I also note, going back to that damn Vietnam experience of my youth, that when earlier liberal icons, Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B.Johnson, got bogged down in that war with their continual troop escalations that it was a very long time before this middle level went public and proclaimed the "house of cards" nature of imperial war policy. So some people have learned something since then. Bravo.
