Yesterday, I wrote that Admiral Mullen’s statement<\/a> athat the public support for the war in Afghanistan slipping was actually the White House putting out feelers for a chance to abandon Afghanistan to the Taliban. Last night, Greyhawk<\/a> sent along a link to the latest proof<\/a> that Democrats are walking back from the war;<\/p>\n

Sen. Russ Feingold, D-WI, called on President Obama to announce a timetable for withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. “This is a strategy that is not likely to succeed,” Sen. Feingold said about the troop buildup in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

“After eight years, I am not convinced that pouring more and more troops into Afghanistan is a well thought out policy,” said Feingold. The liberal Democrat said he has expressed his reservations with President Obama, Admiral Mullen, and others inside the administration and he says he has “never been convinced they have a good answer.”<\/p>\n

“I think it is time we start discussing a flexible timetable so that people around the world can see when we are going to bring our troops out,” said Feingold. “Showing the people there and here that we have a sense about when it is time to leave is one of the best things we can do,” he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, a flexible timeline for withdrawal from Iraq<\/a> has worked so well, hasn’t it? I guess they can just dust off their old Iraq timeline speeches and change the place names.<\/p>\n

It’s all because they’re losing their base on their domestic agenda and the Democrats want to appease the intellectually vacant MoveOn crowd – with lives. al Qaeda lost Iraq in a humiliating defeat, and I guess the Obama Administration wants to give them a morale raising victory in Afghanistan. All so we can have socialized healthcare. Sweet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
