The New York Times today is running an editorial entitled Europe and Afghanistan supporting the war in Afghanistan and admonishing NATO allies to send more troops quickly. This is a huge turn-around from two weeks ago. All articles critical of this fiasco have seemed to dry up in the Times. The Times is onboard with the war now. Why? They don’t say.
