Af-Pak - the new US FAK-AP

One organization in the US that is taking the "short term" view is certainly the white house. With its Af-Pak policy predictably falling apart, and with their self-imposed deadline of 2011 to exit Afghanistan fast approaching, the US government is creating a new breed of armed goondas to manage law and order. As Chellaney points out here this too shall end in tears - except that these may involve Indian lives as well.
