Former Obama Advisor and CFR VP says 100,000+ Troops, 10+ more years needed in Afghanistan “Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. Government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy, and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition.
