Precisely. “Bring them home, AFTER Afghanistan!” is not a catchy slogan for those who nominated him to end the war - the war he strongly opposed.
Obama seems to be quite the outspoken, impressionable young man. He’s ready to speak up on anything, and if he’s wrong, he speaks right up on that. ‘Speak first, we can always rethink it later.’
One brief glimpse of Afghanistan and he strongly announces a reversal of his foreign policy for the next decade.
So when this dawns on his most fervent supporters from the left, what will their reaction be? Will they desert him in droves?
When the left says they want the war to end I don’t think they mean that it’s OK to substitute a new war for the old one.
I don’t think Obambi can keep up this charade for 4 more months. That halo is tarnishing pretty fast.
