Follow the Money: Why the US is Losing the War in Afghanistan by Anthony Cordesman, Center for Strategic and International Studies
Synopsis:
Most of the literature on the cost of the Iraq War, Afghan War, and "war on terrorism" focuses on the burden these wars place on the federal budget and the US economy. These are very real issues, but they also have deflected attention from another key issue: whether the war in Afghanistan is being properly funded and being given the resources necessary to win.
Anthony H. Cordesman, the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at CSIS, has prepared a new report showing that the US has consistently failed to provide the financial and military resources necessary to win the war, and that these failures may well mean the US is losing it.
