Former Assistant Secretary of Defense, Marine combat veteran and frequent embed reporter Bing West says the Obama address left him ‘confused’. Why? Why does he think Obama failed to motivate troops? And why does he think the new strategy is misguided?
Dr. Mike Evans, author of ‘Atomic Iran’ and a leading expert on the Middle East, says President Obama’s address on Afghanistan was a ‘declaration of defeat’ and the idea we can finish the job in 18 months is ‘absurd’.

Retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Tom McInerney explains why the 30,000 troop increase in Afghanistan is good, why timetables are bad and what Obama needs to say to show he’s up to the job of Commander-in-Chief.
