...Similarly, there is a tremendous amount of room to cut within the larger FAS administration. The most obvious place to start cutting is the FAS Office of Communications, led by Director of Communications Robert P. Mitchell. This office could easily be merged with its university-wide counterpart. In fact, the university’s communications staff could likely absorb the responsibility of managing public relations for FAS with just one additional staff member, and the rest of the FAS communications staff...

...That is why both Holbrooke and Petraeus will do everything they can to nudge and puff Zardari and Karzai into being statesmen who occasionally act in their own national interest, as Zardari seems to have done by deciding to fight the Taliban. That is why Secretary of Defense Robert Gates acted with such alacrity to replace a good general, David McKiernan, with another, Stanley McChrystal, better versed in the tactics used to fight terrorist insurgencies. That is why we are in Afghanistan and Pakistan: because our enemies - the people who killed 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001 - are festering...
