Yep, Heading for the Exits

I remain fearful that our president is simply looking for an excuse to retreat from Afghanistan. I'm not the only one.

And the defeat chorus is just warming up to shove the president out:


The California Democratic Party just sent a loud message to President Obama, who is pondering the next U.S. move in Afghanistan: Get out.

The state's Dems have gone on record with a Get Out message before -- like at their confab last summer. But this one is more specific. And bolder. Marin County activist and media critic Norman Solomon passes on that the CDP's 300-member statewide exec boardpassed a resolution Sunday called: "End the U.S. Occupation and Air War in Afghanistan." You can find the resolution here.


Huh. The Left wants to run? Who'd have thought that?

Like I've written for the last 3 or 4 years, I knew the "good war" wouldn't remain good once the Iraq War was over. Now the "war of necessity" (as opposed to the Iraq "war of choice" in their logic) is just an "occupation" and an "air war."

I fear the only thing under debate at the White House is how to avoid being visibly defeated prior to early November 2012.
