Michael Yon has a great post up at the Corner about the war in Afghanistan and Dexter Filkins' New York Times Magazine story “Stanley McChrystal’s Long War.” I urge you to read both articles.

We can succeed in Afghanistan, but General McChrystal needs the troops that he has asked for and our stay will not be a short one. If President Obama meant it when he called the Afghan war, a war of necessity, then get off the dime and give the General his troops now.
