It’s not totally clear that the Obama administration is going to do this, but just in case the administration is planning on releasing its completed Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy review — the Christian Science Monitor has a no-alarms-and-no-surprises account of it here – tomorrow, let me say: what a terrible idea. This is a new approach to a war, involving a deepened American commitment of blood and treasure. Unveiling it on a Friday looks cynical and callous, like they’re trying to sneak it past the public through a document dump while everyone starts working for the weekend. It’s disrespectful to both the troops who serve in Afghanistan and the public that’s going to be asked to deepen support for them.
Monday? I’d clear my calendar for that. Come on now.
