Military Advice to the President - Public or Private? Posted by David Shorr

From my perch at care2, I've added some questions to those raised by Michael re: Kori Schake's ideas about the role of military advice in the public debate over presidents' war policies. And then one further thought that I omitted. If you look at Kori's post alongside her fellow Shadow Government bloggers, the "arbitrary deadlines" trope is all the rage. I suppose in the first couple years of a military intervention, a fixed end point might be a bit artificial. After a full decade of fighting, though, it's not arbitrary -- it's setting a reasonable limit and keeping the mission from dragging on year after year on the weight of its own momentum. 

UPDATED: I just posted a reaction to the speech over at care2.

An extremely good post. This short article sums up for me precisely what this topic depends upon and some of the major benefits that can be resulting from knowing about it as if you. A friend once remarked that you have a totally different frame of mind when you do something for real as opposed to when you’re simply toying with it. In the case of this kind of topic, I believe you adopt, or start to consider, a more professional in addition to thorough approach to what and how you write, which in turn helps you to carry on and get better and help others who don’t know anything about what you have discussed here. Thank you.
