The New York Times has a big, excellent pieceabout the Obama administration’s inability or unwillingness to produce its long-promised metrics for measuring success in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I’ve been covering that for months, as you can read here, and it remains almost surreal that there aren’t any metrics announced five monthsafter President Obama unveiled his Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy. The lack of metrics indicates confusion over how to understandmeasuring success, let alone actually measuring it. And that’s a clear indication of strategic drift.
