‘He will destroy the Democratic party’ (Please pray for our troops before he destroys his own party)
This Washington Post story captures the stark divide over Afghanistan, with a unified military command on the one side — including McChrystal, Mullen, and Petraeus — and a president who is not sure he wants to follow through on “the counterinsurgency strategy he set in motion six months ago” on the other.
There’s this anonymous quote from one observer: “He can send more troops and it will be a disaster and he will destroy the Democratic party.
Or he can send no more troops and it will be a disaster and the Republicans will say he lost the war.”
Isn’t this extraordinary? Obama will roil the Democratic party by sending more troops to fight the war that Democrats have said for years is the “necessary war” (in Obama’s words), the central war in the fight against terror, etc., etc.
It’s hard to imagine a starker demonstration of bad faith on an important issue of national security.
