ARTICLE: Obama to Explore New Approach in Afghanistan War, By Karen DeYoung, Washington Post, November 11, 2008; Page A01

Good signs from Obama team re: a rethink on Afghanistan. Good to see them not just waiting on word from CENTCOM's strategy review. I hate it when the civilian masters outsource their decision-making function wholly to the military--very anti-American in my mind.

Naturally, I welcome the "regional" approach. It's been the missing link in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
