Article Excerpt:
ARTICLE: Pakistan reopens Khyber crossing to NATO convoys, By Bill Roggio, November 17, 2008
We now re/learn a whole new geography for another long slog. What makes me feel better this go-around: our learning curve in Iraq changes everything; we seem to be acting sensibly with the Pakistanis, understanding their difficulties; we're going to tackle this one more regionally, so dialogue with Iran; and if we can further internationalize the force (like with China), then we really start using this situation as a great powers learning environment. I expect many ups and downs, and I'll let the COIN high priests argue the tactics, but this all feels so much more sensible and realistic that the first iteration--either here or in Iraq. And I like it when we learn and move on.
