Analyst's note:  Absolutely must read.  With "deep U.S. pockets" and "expendable" youth and contractors provided by the United States to serve as sitting jihadist targets -- this is thought by many now in our federal gov't to be a great progressive strategy to win a war.  We have a President who does not bluff, he prefers apologizing, so we must stir in unending groveling to all Islamist around the world as our military caught [....] militant Muslims defacing Qur’ans in violation of sharia law. These jihadist enemy combatants were using the Qur’ans to pass messages to each other."   See if you can act as a strategist and figure out what is wrong with this picture .... you have 15 minutes before your next press conference. 

"The U.S. strategy in Afghanistan depends in part on building that country’s capacity to provide for its own security by training and equipping the Afghan National Security Forces, which includes the Afghan National Army and the Afghan National Police (ANP), according to a just-released report from the Government Accountability Office.

Ironically, the report was released at the same time that a Koran-burning incident created discord between American armed forces and Afghan military and police. 

Since 2002, the United States has allocated a whopping $43 billion to train, equip, and sustain the Afghan National Security Forces, which includes about $14 billion to train, equip, and sustain the Afghan National Police.

The ANP training program is intended to create and sustain a professionally-led police force that is accountable to the Afghan people and is capable of enforcing laws and maintaining civil order. Currently, U.S., coalition, and Department of Defense civilian contractor personnel assist the Afghan Ministry of Interior in training the ANP at 23 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) training sites and in mentoring ANP units in the field.
