Excellent!
Now that the Democrats are no longer able to plausibly deny the progress we have made in Iraq, they have moved the goalposts. The talking point du jour is that Iraq was "never" the central front in the war against al-Qaeda, and was just an unnecessary "distraction" from the "real" war.... in Afghanistan.
Never mind that al-Qaeda has regrouped in the latter country only after having been thoroughly routed in Iraq, and after suffering losses numbering in the tens of thousands. Democrats (and their media mouthpieces) never publish those facts. But the same Military Geniuses who predicted that the "surge" would never work now insist that we send thousands of troops and equipment into rugged terrain at altitudes above 8000 feet to fight both terrorists and the Taliban - without a coherent strategy but as an open-ended commitment (sound familiar?).
It seems that the Democrats, having failed to get Another Vietnam in Iraq, now demand the right to try again in Afghanistan. They'll get the US to lose a war if it kills them - or a few thousand more Americans, no matter to them.
