McChrystal’s recommendations

Remember the good old days, just a few months ago, when the leftists proclaimed this one the “good war” just so they could bad mouth Bush?

It seems we're "underresourced." And we have a president who has declared he doesn't believe in "victory." The anti-american, pro-islamist club/clutch within the White House must be rubbing their hands with glee.
    “Lukewarm public support for the Afghan conflict could stop Obama from implementing McChrystal’s recommendations—and lose us the war in the process.” More at National Interest Online
Some say this could distract from the health care push; maybe it's the other way around. Get people so focused on the government take-overs in the economy, they won't notice what he's doing in the middle-east.

Update: Who's behind Islam on Capitol Hill?

"The Democrats backed themselves into defending the idea of Afghanistan being The Good War because they felt they needed to prove their macho bonafides when they called for withdrawal from Iraq. Nobody asked too many questions sat the time, including me. But none of us should forget that it was a political strategy, not a serious foreign policy.

There have been many campaign promises "adjusted" since the election. There is no reason that the administration should feel any more bound to what they said about this than all the other committments it has blithely turned aside in the interest of "pragmatism." "
