The Obama Administration has described the operation as a critical step toward lasting stability, but there's a high risk that the Taliban will melt back into Marjah once the NATO juggernaut pulls out and the area is turned over to Afghan administrators and security forces. Holding this ground will be the first true test for the newly minted Afghan army. A strong national army and police force are the linchpins of the Obama Administration's Afghanistan strategy, but until now, their efficacy...
