Barack Obama's policy in Afghanistan includes American generals taking command of our war effort in southern Afghanistan - a command that was previously NATO's responsibility under George Bush.
Obama has taken the go-it-alone path, while Bush sought to create a more multilateral effort in Afghanistan.
This is another case where the left got it wrong. Since America is willing to lead and fight for freedom and against the terrorists, while Europe isn't, any chance of success requires decisiveness American leadership.
Obama is right to take this path, but he doesn't articulate the issue. Instead, we are treated to Obama saying America needs to be more humble and that we can learn much from Europe.
Such as how to appease terrorists and free ride on the efforts by others?
