Republican Elephant: We need to break Obama's presidency. Not let him have any victories. Lure him into tough spots he can't escape from. Use bipartisanship against him. Trap him in positions that will cost him all his public support. We'll support you escalating in Afghanistan. For a while.
If you want Afghanistan to be right do it the way Charlie Wilson did it. Hire rebels to take out the Taliban and THIS TIME build schools to teach them to be civilians again.
But of course what they’ll do instead is drop bomb after bomb, send in soldiers to try and kill these guys as well as their civilians and we’ll end up with another Vietnam.
