引句：
In the two-front war that Washington is now calling “AFPAK,” there’s more head-scratching going on than is immediately visible. Yes, President Barack Obama last week approved a Pentagon request to send 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan. But at the same time, he has ordered a strategy review to make sure the U.S. isn’t marching blindly into what historians call “the graveyard of empires.”
—David Ignatius, “Remember AFPAK; it’s new Obama war acronym,” Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, February 22, 2009
