This is a critical time for President Obama to meet with Afghan President Karzai and Pakistani President Zardari today in the White House. The situation in these neighboring nations is ominous, especially in Pakistan, where the Taliban and al Qaeda have made significant gains since the Iraq war began. Of significant concern is the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, with Taliban forces within 60 miles of Pakistan's capital Islamabad. This is one "war" we have to succeed in.
