Bargaining asymmetries undermined the prospects for reconciliation in Afghanistan. President Obama’s decision on December 1, 2009, to announce both a surge of forces and a timeline for withdrawal limited American leverage. The Taliban aimed to gain concessions that improved its legitimacy while coaxing the United States to complete its withdrawal, but the insurgents were not interested in negotiating an end to the conflict at that time. As the drawdown continued, American bargaining power declined further. By March 2012, the Taliban postponed talks with the United States. The persistent and increasingly specific withdrawal announcements likely doomed any hopes of a peace process before the withdrawal of American troops. The Pentagon continued to receive a level of White House scrutiny about military operations that diplomats never underwent regarding reconciliation, regional diplomacy, and the 2014 elections. The number of meetings about those matters were comparatively few and far between....
讨价还价的不对称破坏了阿富汗和解的前景。奥巴马总统在2009年12月1日宣布增兵和撤军时间表的决定限制了美国的影响力。塔利班的目标是获得让步,以提高其合法性,同时劝诱美国完成撤军,但叛乱分子当时对谈判结束冲突不感兴趣。随着撤军的继续,美国的议价能力进一步下降。到2012年3月,塔利班推迟了与美国的谈判。持续不断的、越来越具体的撤军声明很可能使美国在撤军前实现和平进程的希望破灭。五角大楼继续接受白宫对军事行动的审查,这是外交官们在和解、地区外交和2014年选举方面从未接受过的审查。关于这些事项的会议次数相对较少,而且相隔很远....

Coming Off the Rails 偏离轨道

Reconciliation efforts soon derailed, as this chapter shows. Conflicting interests between the U.S., the Taliban, and the Karzai government meant that the reconciliation process was lacking progress. While a Strategic Partnership Agreement seemed to realign the U.S. and Afghan governments, poor coordination of the opening of the Doha office and the transition ceremony from ISAF to Afghan forces set back the relationship. By continuing the drawdown, the U.S. was losing negotiating leverage.
正如本章所示,和解努力很快就偏离了轨道。美国、塔利班和卡尔扎伊政府之间的利益冲突意味着和解进程缺乏进展。虽然《战略伙伴关系协议》似乎使美国和阿富汗政府重新结盟,但在多哈办事处开业和国际安全援助部队向阿富汗部队移交仪式上的不协调,使两国关系受挫。通过继续撤军,美国正在失去谈判筹码。

As benchmarks within political, military, and economic lines of effort were achieved in Iraq, the Bush administration felt it was making progress. This chapter shows how assessing progress within bureaucratic silos allowed the Bush administration to remain overly optimistic about a favorable and durable outcome, even though violence intensified.
随着在伊拉克的政治、军事和经济努力达到了基准,布什政府感到自己正在取得进展。本章展示了在官僚机构内部评估进展如何使布什政府对有利和持久的结果保持过度乐观,即使暴力加剧。

A New Plan on Shaky Foundations 摇摇欲坠的基础上的新计划

The surge seemed successful at first, especially because it coincided with the Anbar Awakening spreading through Sunni communities. Violence levels plummeted. However, the U.S. administration was still being manipulated by the Iraq government, which continued its sectarian agenda. More importantly, the surge was not strategically connected to a specific war termination outcome, making it unclear how it could be turned into durable success.
增兵一开始似乎是成功的,特别是因为它恰逢安巴尔觉醒运动在逊尼派社区蔓延。暴力事件急剧减少。然而,美国政府仍然受到伊拉克政府的操纵,伊拉克政府继续其宗派议程。更重要的是,增兵在战略上与特定的战争结束结果没有联系,因此不清楚如何将其转化为持久的成功。

Surging into the Good War 涌向正义之战
Pub Date : 2021-10-26 DOI: 10.5810/kentucky/9780813152769.003.0013
Christopher D. Kolenda
This chapter details the thinking that eventually led to the surge. Obama’s patience waned while bureaucratic frictions and problems with the Karzai government continued to impede progress. U.S. departments and agencies continued to write and execute individual plans within bureaucratic silos, and there was no effort to develop with Afghan partners a coordinated strategy for the war or to address the misaligned aims and incentives. Additionally, the simultaneous announcement of a surge and withdrawal timeline limited both U.S. options and leverage.
本章详述了最终导致增兵的思想。官僚主义摩擦和与卡尔扎伊政府的问题继续阻碍进展,奥巴马的耐心逐渐消失。美国各部门和机构继续在各自的官僚机构内部制定和执行各自的计划,没有努力与阿富汗伙伴制定协调一致的战争战略,也没有努力解决不一致的目标和动机。此外,同时宣布增兵和撤军时间表限制了美国的选择和影响力。

The Past as Prologue: 作为开场白的过去:
Pub Date : 2021-10-26 DOI: 10.2307/j.ctv201xj68.6

It is common practice to forecast social, political, and economic outcomes by polling people about their intentions. This approach is direct, but it can be unreliable in settings where it is hard to identify a representative sample, or where subjects have an incentive to conceal their true intentions or beliefs. The authors propose that, as a substitute or a supplement, forecasters use historical outcomes to predict future ones. The relevance of historical events, however, is not guaranteed. The authors apply a novel technique called Partial Sample Regression to identify, in a mathematically precise way, the subset of events that are most relevant to the present. The outcomes of those events are then weighted by their relevance and averaged to give a prediction for the future. The authors illustrate their technique by showing that it correctly predicted the winner of the last six U.S. presidential elections based only on the political, geopolitical, and economic circumstances of the election year.
通过调查人们的意愿来预测社会、政治和经济结果是一种常见的做法。这种方法是直接的,但在难以识别代表性样本的情况下,或者在受试者有隐瞒其真实意图或信念的动机的情况下,它可能是不可靠的。作者建议,作为替代或补充,预测者使用历史结果来预测未来的结果。然而,历史事件的相关性并不能得到保证。作者运用了一种被称为部分样本回归的新技术,以精确的数学方法来识别与当前最相关的事件子集。然后将这些事件的结果根据其相关性进行加权,并取其平均值,从而给出对未来的预测。作者通过展示他们的技术,证明它仅根据选举年的政治、地缘政治和经济环境就正确地预测了过去六次美国总统选举的获胜者。

The Surge Misunderstood 被误解的增兵
Pub Date : 2021-10-26 DOI: 10.5810/kentucky/9780813152769.003.0035
Christopher D. Kolenda
Why was the U.S. unsuccessful in turning successes achieved during the surge into a durable political outcome? This chapter offers three related arguments: the desire to withdraw reduced U.S. bargaining leverage; the reduction in violence led U.S. officials to overestimate Maliki’s inclusiveness; and U.S. leverage was further dissipated by civil-military tensions and strategic incoherence in theater. The surge had not been designed to alleviate either of those aspects.
为什么美国未能将增兵期间取得的成功转化为持久的政治成果?本章提供了三个相关的论点:撤出削弱了美国讨价还价筹码的愿望;暴力事件的减少导致美国官员高估了马利基的包容性;军民之间的紧张局势和战区的战略不一致进一步削弱了美国的影响力。增兵的目的并不是为了缓解这两个方面中的任何一个。

Why did the Bush and Obama administrations fixate on ineffective strategies? Confirmation bias reinforced the Bush administration’s belief that the war was over, that a small military effort could defeat the remnants of the Taliban, and that the international community could pick up the burden of reconstruction. Officials emphasized reports of progress within political, military, and economic silos and discounted evidence of mounting problems. The Obama administration’s belief that the Taliban would be unwilling to fight other Afghans and its frustration over the Karzai government’s endemic corruption, coupled with the Pentagon’s narrative about the ANSF’s readiness, reinforced the withdrawal timeline. Evidence mounted that the Afghan government was losing legitimacy, and the ANSF was corrupt and poorly led. The Taliban remained resilient with their sanctuaries in Pakistan and local support in Afghanistan intact. Still, the Obama administration would not reexamine the drawdown timeline until the disaster became apparent at the end of 2014. Poor strategic empathy compounded the effects of confirmation bias in both administrations. Civilian and military officials, focused in their silos, never addressed the cross-cutting issues that jeopardized US aims. Defense officials had to use subtle language about risks to avoid running afoul of the White House, but no one in Congress picked up the nuances....
为什么布什和奥巴马政府执着于无效的战略?确认偏误强化了布什政府的信念,即战争已经结束,一次小小的军事努力就能击败塔利班残余势力,国际社会可以承担起重建的重任。官员们强调在政治、军事和经济领域取得进展的报告,对问题日益增多的证据不予理会。奥巴马政府认为塔利班不愿与其他阿富汗人作战,对卡尔扎伊政府普遍存在的腐败感到失望,再加上五角大楼关于阿富汗安全部队准备就绪的说法,这些都加强了撤军时间表。越来越多的证据表明,阿富汗政府正在失去合法性,阿富汗安全部队腐败且领导不力。塔利班在巴基斯坦的庇护所和阿富汗当地的支持下仍然保持着活力。尽管如此,奥巴马政府直到2014年底灾难变得明显之后才会重新审视撤军时间表。在两届政府中,糟糕的战略同理心加剧了确认偏误的影响。文职官员和军方官员都专注于各自的领域,从未解决危及美国目标的交叉问题。国防部官员不得不使用微妙的语言来描述风险,以避免与白宫发生冲突,但国会中没有人领会其中的细微差别....
