Obama plunges into unwinnable war

I don't like to cop the lead story to an article, but this one pretty much sums it up:
After campaigning on the promise to end one war, President Barack Obama is preparing to escalate another.

I think its important to point out two things:
  1. This is exactly what Obama promised to do
  2. The left completely ignored that this is what Obama promised to do
Yet, now, the left is annoyed that Obama is going to do it.

By the way, for the record, I don't think that Afghanistan is 'unwinnable'. Particularly since its the left who will be going in. They won't be demanding a timetable for withdraw, and they won't downplay our successes while we are there.
