While Peter Pan sets off to kick ass on the Gulf, news from the eastern front is not good. Peter Pan's good war in Afghanistan is at a sort of standstill! The recent surge success into Helmand Providence killed a lot of the emeny, but the balance were drove into the mountains, only to reappear when NATO forces move out and Afgan forces left after the surge, could not hold the ground. Plus NATO casualities, mostly US, were high. US News reports didn't say very much about the human loss. Peter Pan's previous broadcasted strategy, since Helmand was in the bag, is to strike in June at the Taliban city of Kandahar. Afgan officials said the push into Kandadar Providence will now be later in July, before a time out is called for Ramadan is called from Mid-August to Mid- September 2010. By the way Peter Pan's strategy to begin draw down starts about a year from now. I don't think this will happen and the WH reason will because "W" took his eye off the target during his watch.
Sidebar: Same is true, "W" didn't do anything to stop the Twins from writing too many zero down and zero interest for an infinate period of time home loans. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailout could cost $1 T.
