– George Packer has a 20,000 word critique of the Afghanistan withdrawal.  Haven’t had time to read it yet, but expect lots of lessons to ponder.

-Politico explains interagency fights over China trade policy.

Tomorrow is the Lunar New Year. Happy year of the Tiger.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I 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.
