Washington Post Pulitzer award-winning columnist Eugene Robinson, the guy who won the Pulitzer by faithfully cutting and pasting talking points from the Obama campaign for more than two years issues a warning today in his column entitled “A plan for Afghanistan: Declare victory \u2014 and leave<\/a>“. Of course that’s not a plan and Robinson doesn’t really issue a warning…unless you realize that he doesn’t write anything that doesn’t jibe with the Obama Administration policy unless he clears it with them first.<\/p>\n

His deep and intellectual analysis ends with this line;<\/p>\n

The threat from Afghanistan is gone. Bring the troops home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, he’s referring to the death of bin Laden and an out-of-power Taliban as the threat which is gone. Yes, bin Laden is gone for good and the Taliban is out of office, but will their absence be permanent? That’s tougher to answer, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

The weak-kneed Karzai government is making noise about “negotiating” with the Taliban for their reintegration into the Afghanistan government – does anyone honestly think that the group who throws acid in the faces of pre-teen girls for attending school will be content having only a small part in the daily lives of Afghans?<\/p>\n

Of course that’s a question that Robinson wants to avoid and as long as people like Robinson, who get their marching orders from the White House, make these kinds of noises, the Taliban and al Qaeda will continue fighting and hoping for the quick withdrawal of US forces from the region.<\/p>\n

You can bet your bottom dollar that Robinson wrote the piece today because the Obama Administration is testing the waters for an early and quick withdrawal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
