The Dem presidential candidates and party and congressional leadership prove their unseriousness on the Long War every time they say Afghanistan is where it’s at, not oil-rich and influential Iraq–as Charles Krauthammer so ably demonstrates:
"…you do not decide where to fight on the basis of history; you decide on the basis of strategic realities of the ground. You can argue about our role in creating this new front and question whether it was worth taking that risk in order to topple Saddam Hussein. But you cannot reasonably argue that in 2007 Iraq is not the most critical strategic front in the war on terror."
Worth a read.
