The Right War
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
In 2008, Candidate Obama assured us the war in Iraq was the wrong war. He wanted to fight the right war in Afghanistan, against the Taliban.
In 2014, President Obama surrendered the Taliban high leadership back to the enemy and announced American troops will be leaving Afghanistan.
He picked the war. He lost it. His legacy.

Even those of us who tacitly agreed that Afghanistan needed the most emphasis have to be disappointed by Obama’s performance.

Remeber the D line was that the Iraq War — which both of Obama’s Secretaries of State had voted for — was a stupid, foolish mistake that led to our “taking our eye off the ball in Afghanistan”?
