It's not a question of how much money we put into it. It's a question of political will to fight the information war the way it needs to be fought. That will is still lacking on both the civilian and military sides. Too many innovative people are fearful of bureaucratic and legalistic roadblocks, and of what the Washington Post might say. Throwing money at the problem won't defeat the Taliban's propaganda. We need leadership. The president's "glaring omission" proves my point.
