Afghanistan Revisit

Back in January, the 11th to be precise, I wrote an entry regarding the democrat parties insistence we had been fighting the wrong war.  Over and over during the Bush administration, he had been criticized for going to Iraq instead of Afghanistan.  This was normal fodder for then candidate Obama during the campaign.

Well, when elected, Mr. Obama showed he was committed by sending additional troops to the war zone in Afghanistan.  At the time, there were very few casualties and this showed just how tough ‘this’ democrat was gonna be. 

It is now getting tough.  This is what I alluded to back in January – there are voices being raised to get out.  This will be quite interesting to watch.  I dunno who is right and who is wrong.  I do know this; if Iraq was the wrong place to go for eight years, and Afghanistan was where we should have been, what has changed? 

For those who say the Taliban has now moved into Pakistan from Afghanistan, are we now going to go there?  Don’t bet on it – if anything, we will be bringing the troops home from the middle east in toto.  This will once again illuminate the false argument the democrat party used for many years.  But now the going has gotten tough, and the polls they are a changing.
