I don’t know if ‘hitting’ is the right word in this context; rather , like Margaret Thatcher to George H. W. Bush, she is reminding him that now is no time to go wobbly. Afghanistan and Iraq (IMHO) are both critical fronts in the WOT, and no matter what the extent of Obama’s juvenile miscalculation of the efforts made to date, an American failure in Afghanistan would be just as bad as failure in Iraq. He will require Republican support to counter the wailings of the idiot Left, which will be perhaps irreparably fractured if Obama actually does something in America’s self-interest.
Are you saying conservatives should continue to give Obama a blank check on this issue?
