Year: 2010

From Michael O’Hanlon, et al., “States of Conflict: An Update.” And from the conclusion: In Afghanistan, 2009 was the year of decisions – by President Obama, of course, by Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal and by the Afghan people as they re-elected Hamid Karzai as president. Afghanistan had a bloody year, with more than 300 Americans […]

Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano’s appearance on a Sunday talk show after the attempted terror attack, assuring the traveling public that the system had “worked,” will no doubt be one of the low points of this administration. And this is an administration full of low points in just it’s first year. It was a decidedly absurd […]

So here we are in 2010. I’ll be the first to say that I am not the least bit sorry to say goodbye. As painful and crazy as it was – both personally and politically – it was in many ways the start of something bigger than I could have imagined… as well as a […]
