Live-blogging the Afghanistan speech Posted by The Editors

Hi everyone:  I'm going to be posting at least a couple of times tonight as we watch the President's speech.  After a few minutes, I'm alreayd struck by the staging and by the President's reliance on story-telling: setting the stage for a history that has become confused (witness the mixing up of the Taliban and al Qaeda) and complex (the trade-offs between Iraq and Afghanistan).  To begin with clarity: what a concept!

Hi,
Thank you very much for sharing speech.I would especially like to focus on the effects of the Afghan War in the Soviet Union's domestic dynamics and relate public opinion/opposition to the war, during and after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979.
