Ann Coulter vs. Bill Kristol: Beginnings of a Conservative Schism?

Politics Daily "Until now, there has been somewhat of an unspoken rule, adhered to by most on the right, that conservative Republicans would vigorously oppose Obama's liberal domestic policies while supporting his efforts to win in Afghanistan. After all, Republicans had staunchly backed George W. Bush when he made the case for fighting al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Changing course now would seem craven -- playing politics with national security. And so, in foreign policy, Obama was criticized from the right only when he appeared to be showing weakness, not when he displayed toughness."
 The length of this war is not of our choosing; we will be fighting al Qaeda and their allies for the next few decades somewhere as long as they want to kill Americans wholesale. Israel's half-century struggle against those who desire to wipe them off the face of the earth is certainly not Israel's choice.
Presently we are fighting them in a region that has nuclear weapons terrorists would love to possess.
