The Recurring Calls For Failure in Afghanistan

Gordon Brown: risk of British failure in Afghanistan is real

OK, maybe it is me? But I don't think so. From president Obama's continued couched references, to his out and out refusal to address the military requests for more troops, to his own hand picked general's report, which he has sat on for over two months now.

At each and every turn, there seems to be a growing sense that America is losing or has already loost the war in Afghanistan and that the probable best course of action, is to cut our losses and leave.

Of course, never let it be reminded that this is always the way liberals see the way to fight wars. Just run away. Or better yet, don't bother fighting them at all. Just let them waltz right in and then see what concessions can be bargained for.

And now comes Gordon Brown of the UK. He seems to be parroting the lines given him by Obama now. Bracing his country for the apparent inevitable. and that inevitable is appearing more and more by the day, as if defeat and withdrawal are the only options that either he or Obama are presently entertaining.

Why else the solemn faces and the continued rhetoric for bracing the people for the worst of news.

You decide. I already have.
