TIME MAG SAYS OBAMAS AFGHAN PLAN PAINTED IN SHADES OF BUSH

Time magazine compares the Obama surge in Afghanistan to the Bush surge in Iraq. No exit strategy and a call for locals to be more involved. That said, the value of the two places going in are different. Iraq was a mistake of value and implementation. "Mission accomplished" was an early celebration in a country that we knew far less about than we thought. Afghanistan on the other hand,  as it stands now, is an obvious safe haven for Al Qaeda and the Taliban. If it is not gutted, we stand the risk of allowing an extremist ruling group and borderless terror network to set up shop and plot more politcally motivated violence. A better article for Time would be: where is the rest of the world. Are they enjoying what Al Qaeda brings to the table? Instead of calling out Obama as another Bush or a hypocrite of his own "change" campaign message, why not once in a while call out a world  that chooses to sit on the sidelines once again.
