Stevenson’s army, August 24
– WaPo says CIA Director Burns met with de facto Taliban leader in Kabul on Monday.
– Former CJCS ADM. Mullen now say Afghanistan war was mistake.
– WSJ describes faltering Afghan economy.
In other news –
– Merkel reassures Ukraine over NS2.
– CFR has good backgrounder on global water stress.
I don’t know how much of this is accessible right now, but Foreign Affairs displays its new issue online.
My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request.
