Yon had this goofy quote from a Brit:

Yon,
Others would disagree with me. A well placed and very experienced British officer just emailed me his impressions, to whit:

The Brit:
“An impressive statement of intent – I particularly liked the bits about bearing down on Afghan corruption and corruption in how USAID money is spent. The speech inspires confidence and, as he is not Bush, it could encourage others to come to the party in a more meaningful way.

I don’t mean any offence about Bush as I for one see history judging him more favorably than contemporary commentators it’s just that the Europeans might follow Obama in a way that they never would Bush.”

Sounds like the Mere Statement of intent by the Messiah should be sufficient to end Afghan corruption!
Inspires Confidence!
