A War We Can’t Afford to Lose

Heritage "Maintaining that commitment won’t be easy, either. While President Obama is facing criticism for imposing a withdrawal deadline from the right, he is also facing criticism from the left for backing away from his withdrawal pledge. But there is more at stake for the President than scoring political points. Hanging in the balance is the future of Afghanistan, where failure would spell the return of the Taliban, a resurgent Al-Qaeda, a new wave of terrorism in South Asia, increased potential for conflict between Pakistan and India, and the makings of the next 9-11.
"For the United States, failure is not an option, it’s a choice President Obama shouldn’t make, and it’s a result the American people should not accept."
 Forget the French surrender jokes; you can't beat Democrats at cut-and-run. They've been advocating it since the Civil War.
