Because Democratic voters and candidates were playing a complex game. Nearly all of them hated the war in Iraq and wanted to pull Americans out of that country. But they were afraid to appear soft on national security,...

Byron York, in today’s editorial at the Washington Examiner, exposes the quandary the Democratic party has produced for itself by its constant lying. Go remind yourselves: the Democrats never did support either of the Mideast wars of the Bush administration, but they did not want to appear soft on national defense, so they lied and [...]

But Obama's announcement will be greeted with dismay by most Democrats. Byron York notes that most Democrats want to reduce, not increase, troop levels in Afghanistan,...
