...shame that smoke and puffery have obscured McChrystal's excellent speech. Those who speak of winning or losing in Afghanistan are using a primordial vocabulary. But the essential humanity at the heart of the counterinsurgency strategy - the idea that we succeed if we work at helping people - makes it worth trying. As the man said, this is about humility.
