Not at all; we ripped Dems for their negative partisan assaults on President Bush's policies in Iraq and Afghanistan; our repeating those same attacks when Obama is president reveal that we are just petty and partisan, too. If it was right under Bush, and the policy has not substantially changed, I expect us to continue to support the policy. If we think he is failing to fight to win, we need to remind him that those are American lives he is pointlessly sacrificing.

He owns both conflicts now. He can man up, admit his previous errors, and fight to win - or he can succumb to the siren song of the loser Left. In the first case, he fractures the liberal coalition that elected him; in the latter, he castrates his administration and fractures the coalition.

Honestly, not very good choices, but he is the one that painted himself into the corner...IMHO

If a deceptive and incompetent character like Obama “owns” both conflicts, on what basis do you want to trust him with our blood and treasure? Besides, please note that this money is being used to bail out a corrupt Islamic regime (Karzai) which imposes the death penalty on Christians.

The day we decided to allow Al Quida sanctuary in Pakistan is the day we decided not to fight to win...and the day we should have initiated an exit plan from Afghanistan.
