Slow Blog Day

Not much early blogging today as I spent the morning driving to Ottawa and the afternoon returning.  In between, I met the Danish charge d'affairs to learn about the Danish effort in Afghanistan.  They have paid the greatest price per capita for their efforts, and are acting most un-continental European in their efforts in Southern Afghanistan.  I am going to Copenhagen in late August to interview their military and civilian types about this effort, as the country is an outlier for the Dave and Steve model of NATO countries in Afghanistan.  Today's conversation was a great start, even if it did impede blogging.
