My Comment: I read this document last night. When finished, I felt like Adolf Hitler in the Bunker. My aides are outlining great strategies and ideas on how to win the war .... but when one looks at the map the "real" resources to win are just not there.
The resources from the State department are simply not there to participate in the fight in Afghanistan.
