The New Don’t Ask Don’t Tell
Here’s the new policy…
DON’T ASK for more troops in Afghanistan…
“The Pentagon has told its top commander in Afghanistan to delay submitting his request for additional troops, defense officials say, amid signs that the Obama administration is rethinking its strategy for combating a resurgent Taliban.”
DON’T TELL anyone that we told you not to ask…
“White House officials greeted the leak with a grimace, but none suggested they’d begin a witch hunt for the leaker. Woodward is famous for his access to the principals themselves — he recently traveled to Afghanistan with National Security Adviser James Jones — and leak hunters couldn’t expect with confidence that they’d find themselves disciplining just an undisciplined junior staffer.”
Maybe the Democrats should spend more time going after the enemy in Afghanistan and less time attacking American citizens who oppose their agenda. Would they be more comfortable attacking the Taliban if they showed up at a town hall meeting to protest ObamaCare? Maybe if Al Qaeda held a Tea Party the Dems would take them more seriously.
They talked a tough game on Afghanistan during the campaign but you know what? They were lying all along.
