You don't understand Washington math. 30,000 is more. Committing to more of something that's failing is what's needed. It doesn't matter whether it's fighting peasant farmers in Central Asia, or 'stimulating' the economy. Paul Krugman can explain the theory.
C'mon, Sam, you know better than this. The # of Taliban is not fixed (altho it's likely to grow with more US troops in country). The Afghan security forces have fluctuating loyalties and widely varying readiness. And conventional wisdom on fighting an insurgency is it takes 10x the troops to suppress.
