Not Worth the Bones of a Single Blue State Grenadier?

I don't know how anybody could have been confused about the long history of anti-Iraq War types claiming that they really wanted to fight the good war in Afghanistan. It has always been clear that they'd turn on the war in Afghansitan as soon as they didn't need to protest the Iraq War.

And oh how they have turned:

At West Point tonight, when Barack Obama formally announces he is sending tens of thousands more American troops to Afghanistan, he’ll be doing so against the wishes of an overwhelming majority of the Democratic Party. Sending more troops will fulfill a key Obama campaign pledge, but it will also expose a deep rift in the party — and highlight its habit of dissembling on the war.

Once the anti-Iraq War side (falsely) claimed we'd taken our eye off the ball. But now that they have the ball, they don't want to play at all.

This had best be one heck of a speech tonight to reach the Retreat Americans who backed his candidacy. The objectives of the Cairo speech looks like child's play by comparison.
