I think he has taken the war effort in Afghanistan in a direction that lacks clarity. I don't know why he is sending in more troops, I don't know what he is trying to accomplish, I don't understand why he is antagonizing Pakistan. I thought Bush's approach was more "surgical" in nature and that he recognized the limitations in fighting a conventional war in that territory.
