Yesterday, we had Lynne Woolsey call the war in Afghanistan<\/a> “an epic failure, a national embarrassment and a moral blight on this country”, today Barbara Lee calls the premise that “a military-first strategy that has consistently proven itself ineffective and counterproductive” in response to the announcement of 1400 Marines joining the fight in coming weeks. <\/p>\n

She reaffirms her nine-year opposition to the use of force against the Taliban and al Qaeda in the pages of the Huffington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

…I will be reintroducing my legislation to limit funding in Afghanistan to the safe and orderly withdrawal of U.S. troops and military contractors and will further work with my colleagues to hold the President accountable for a significant July reduction in U.S. military presence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess Lee feels more comfortable railing against Republican leadership than she did against her own because I can’t remember her being this vocal during the Nancy Pelosi years after President Bush. So judging by these two clowns’ statements we can expect the anti-war crowd to resume their incessant yammering to mirror that which we heard in the opening days of the war when Republicans were in power.<\/p>\n

Of course, she’s playing to the crowd who are like this douch-bag<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, Rep. Lee. I am for stopping both wars. We spend billions on war while we give tax cuts to the rich (including the war contactors\u00ad) and send our poor and least educated men and women to fight. Brave sistah!\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
