Description
The authors challenge the perception that Afghanistan is a lost cause and urge Washington to "adequately resource" its current policy toward the country. Based on their recent experiences and observations in Afghanistan, the authors say they were buoyed by "the impressive progress" of the Afghan security forces and the "significant strides" made in many other areas. They caution the Obama Administration and its international partners against accelerating disengagement prior to 2014 and under-resourcing their commitment to Afghanistan after 2014.
