Still Wrapping Box of Shit on Christmas Morning

Just about everything you need to know about U.S. foreign policy is in this short post by the Atlantic's Marc Ambinder:

President Obama convened a last-minute meeting of his national security team tonight to discuss the language that his administration will use to describe its new strategy for Afghanistan. Two administration sources confirmed that the meeting, which began at 5:00 pm, included cabinet officials like Defense Secretary Robert Gates...

An official said that Obama plans to try explain the interconnection between the the stability of Pakistan and the nexus of terror in Afghanistan. An explanation that the American people would accept has proven elusive.

The decision's been made. Now all we need is a reason!
