		<description><![CDATA[RNC Chair Michael Steele’s recent comments on Afghanistan – which he derisively called “Obama’s war” while questioning the potential for victory – found pockets of support across the political spectrum.  On the left, those who oppose the war on ideological grounds agreed with Steele’s conclusions (if not his logic) that this is not a war [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been no doubt for weeks now in my mind that President Obama has been planning a retreat from Afghanistan. All the dithering and hand-wringing over the elections, Harmad Karzai and the corrupt Afghan government was just a way to put distance between himself and the &#8220;decision&#8221; &#8212; or series of decisions &#8212; to [...]]]></description>

He called it &#8220;Bush&#8217;s war of choice&#8221; and repeatedly spoke of its folly; later, as a United States Senator in 2006 and [...]]]></description>
