Stanley A. Weiss, founding chairman of Washington, D.C-based Business Executives for National Security, writing in the December 28, 2009, Los Angeles Times:
The Obama administration has outlined a three-pronged strategy in Afghanistan, focusing on security, governance and economic development. But the implementation of those elements has been woefully lopsided. Since 2002, 93% of the $170 billion the United States has committed to Afghanistan has gone to military operations.Weiss said, “As the country prepares to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, we also need to focus on providing a surge in the quality of life for the Afghan people.”
