“In fact the Dems have been urging the sending of more troops.”

Yes they are in favor of sending more troops into a place they were labelling a quagmire less than two weeks after our original operations there began.

The Democrat Party will support fighting terrorism in Afghanistan as long as they can use it as a club to hammer the President and the Republicans about Iraq.

Once they don’t have Iraq to kick around anymore, they will “support” the troops in Afghanistan the same way they are “supporting” them in Iraq.

Afghanistan right now...is merely a means to and end for the Democrats.

The Democrats supported the surge until it came about. They oppose everything and anything President Bush proposes because they are not grounded in principle.

The dirty secret is the "More troops for Afghanistan" spin is pure Political Propaganda. It is designed to do nothing more then give the Democrats an out. "Oh we aren't weak on National Defense, we want to fight the "Right" war" in Afganistan."

Pull out of Iraq and the focus will then switch to how to get us out of Afghanistan. The simple fact of the matter is for the Leftists establishment there is NO good reason to deploy the US Military ANY where where legitimate US National Interests are to be protected. Just remember these are the SAME people who ran around right after 09-11 squealing about how we had brought 09-11 on ourselves and we needed to understand why they hated and buy off their hate with more foreign aid etc. The simple fact is the current leadership of the Democrat Party will never, under any circumstance, willingly step to the plate and defend the American people with offensive military action. Kerry said it himself in 2004. To Democrats terrorism is merely a law enforcement problem to be responded to after the fact, not really a deadly threat at all.
