But there is nothing new about it—this is the same kind of language Obama used in defeating John McCain in the general election last November. Indeed, the Obama administration continues to deploy many of the campaign tactics it used in the run-up to the election, even now that it has taken power.

...former dictator President Pervez Musharraf; his army is reluctant to go to war against a section of the country's citizenry; and Pakistani public opinion remains more hostile to the U.S. than to the Taliban. Karzai, meanwhile, has long been written off by Washington an incapable of providing the kind of governance essential to winning a counterinsurgency war. Still, in response to the growing legion of skeptics on Capitol Hill, the Administration might well ask: Does anyone have a better idea...
