President Obama will address...

...the nation tomorrow night in prime time. He's expected to announce an increase in troop levels in Afghanistan by about 30,000.

I'll try to reserve judgement until after I hear the speech, but in the meantime, I can't help thinking of Jerry Seinfeld. (Everything comes back to "Seinfeld.")

Every so often, one of Jerry's pals, Kramer or George, would come up with some cockamamie scheme that would cause Jerry to shake his head and say to himself, "This isn't going to end well."

And that's how I feel about Afghanistan. Is there anyone in America--left, right, or center--who really thinks this is going to end well?
