Friday Round-up Posted by Michael Cohen

• On his Twitter feed Brian Katulis linked to this amazing poll result from the NYT. When asked about the most important issues facing the country, war got 3%, terrorism got 1% and Afghanistan didn't even rate. In fact, as near I can tell the poll doesn't even ask a single question about Afghanistan.

I understand the economy stinks and people are worried about their jobs (I know the feeling) but my gosh, we're going to have 100,000 troops on the ground there and Americans are blithely unconcerned. The extent to which Afghanistan has fallen off the map over the last two months is both stunning and depressing.

• Bernard Finel has an interesting article about COIN in the latest issue of Armed Forces Journal; as a critique of the military's COIN infatuation it's spot on. Although the Zen Pundit offers an interesting rejoinder.  

• Former NSN alum Moira Whelan who is now at AID flagged this piece in HuffPo from new AID administrator Rajiv Shah on ongoing relief efforts in Haiti.   

• As is his wont, Marc Lynch has a really smart take on Iran

• Finally, the indomitable Slim Charles perhaps best captures my thoughts about the imminent attack on Marjah: "Don't matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war, and now there ain't no going back. I mean, shit, it's what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight."

So far nobody has commented or reviewed at DA or Inkspots on the new book "Waging War in Waziristan: The British Struggle in the Land of Bin Laden, 1849-1947," by Andrew M. Roe.

[Don Bacon]

I never got past Bernard Finel's first sentence. It's hilarious!

"The U.S. military is a dominant fighting force, capable of rapid global power projection and able to defeat state adversaries quickly and at relatively low cost in American lives and treasure."

And the evidence is right behind the magic curtain! It's powerful!
It's so powerful it will make you forget North Korea, North Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan!

Too bad you didn't read the rest of the article. But don't let that stop you from making snarky comments.

A few things i have observed in terms of laptop or computer memory is there are features such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must fit in with the specifications of the mother board. If the pc's motherboard is kind of current while there are no main system issues, changing the storage space literally will take under sixty minutes. It's one of several easiest computer upgrade processes one can visualize. Thanks for spreading your ideas.
