Blogging the McChrystal Review - Who are the People? Pt.2
Posted by Michael Cohen
On the heels of yesterday's post about the nature of popular support for the Afghan government and Taliban a reader forwarded to me this slide from a Tony Cordesman presentation on the situation in Af/Pak. The data is pretty clear that in Kandahar province and the Southwest, the Taliban is relatively popular, while elsewhere they are about as popular as my Governor.
While I'm generally a little suspicious of Afghan polling data this does track with what appears to be happening on the ground and the areas of the country that support the Taliban. Something to keep in mind when we talk about the Afghan "people." (Oddly, Cordesman was on McChrystal's review team so I'm surprised this sort of data wasn't factored into deliberations.)
