He&#8217;s now in Afghanistan, saying</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m in Zabul Province, Afghanistan, but will soon fly to Bahrain for some important war-related business. After Bahrain, it&#8217;s back to Iraq then over to Washington DC, then down to CENTCOM in Florida&#8230;then Christmas, and back to the war. The primary current objective is to continue to build situational awareness pertaining to Afghanistan. This is going to be a very long war, and 2009 is tantamount the kickoff.</p></blockquote>
<p>He also links to an important document on <a href="http://www.michaelyon-online.com/irregular-warfare-joc.htm" target="_blank">irregular warfare</a>.</p>
