Why Afghanistan Will Become the Bad War

I've long held that our Left has expressed support for the Afghanistan War because they want to oppose the Iraq War without admitting they simply don't believe we should defend ourselves ever. When the Iraq War dwindles and the Afghanistan War is the only war we have, our Left will hate the Afghanistan War, too.

So if we send more troops to Afghanistan as we draw down in Iraq during the next year, our Left will turn on the war. And this habit of our enemies which is bolstered by the media will be the excuse our Left gives to bail on the troops there:

The enemy routinely exaggerates the number of civilian casualties as propaganda, just pure and simple. They use lies and deceit as an asymmetric strategy. They seek to wear away our partnership with the international community, with NATO and with the Afghan people. We must and we will defend ourselves, and we will continue to do so with restraint, discipline and within the full compliance of the laws of war.

Major General Schoesser has to know that when enemy claims come up against our military's defense of their actions as careful and lawful, our Left will believe the enemy every time.

Have a nice day.
