Jviehe is right to criticize the Obama administration on its handling of the situation in Afghanistan. Obama is over 1/5 of the way thru his term, and it’s been over a year since he said taking the fight to al Qaeda and the Taliban would be his top priority. All he’s done so far is send in some more troops and make some staffing changes while the situation steadily deteriorates. For all his talk of a need for victory in Afghanistan, and I agree we do need to win there, he has yet to come up with victory conditions or a strategy for achieving them. Instead of showing some leadership and acting like the commander-in-chief, he’s wasting his time and energy on health care crap; an issue that should be put off until after our service men and women are out of harm’s way. It’s not simply a partisan attack when even the people over there aren’t sure what the objectives are. The one who really abused it as a wedge issue was Obama, when he used it to look like a tough guy to help him get elected, then bailed on it once in office in favor of partisan politics, leaving our service members high and dry wondering what they’re supposed to be doing aside from being moving targets.
