I think he's completely uncharitable to neglect to mention the deterioration of Karzai's government as a possible reason for some Democrats to now reject what they once supported in additional troops. I know that I make a critical distinction between doing nation building in a place where we are welcomed and the...

The Democrat base is suddenly "very nervous," about Afghanistan. Could it be that, for purposes of the election, they were just a bunch of pacifist sheep in hawk clothing? 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.

Tonight President Obama will announce his plan to send more troops to Afghanistan. That's probably a good thing, although, as in Iraq, what the troops do--are permitted to do--is more important than how many of them there are. 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,...
