  1. The Paula Broadwell I know

    Events of the last two weeks have been very tough and sad for all of us as a nation. As a good friend of both Gen. David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, they have been very hard for me personally as well.

  2. Don't rush out of Afghanistan

    With Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his top advisers visiting Washington this week, huge questions about the future of the NATO mission there consume Afghan and American minds.

And how many forces do we have to keep in Afghanistan afterward? These questions come on top of other decisions we have been making lately, about the long-term size of the Afghan army and police and about foreign aid levels the international community will provide to Afghanistan for many years.

The best guess of top Fed officials is two and a half years from now or mid-2015, according to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke at his news conference last week. It's a gloomy forecast; now come two economists who show that, under plausible assumptions, it could take a lot longer. How about 2018?
