Frontline’s ‘The War Briefing’: Doom, Gloom, and Despair
The funny thing is, the plan is already in place, and will work… unless Obama and Congress wimp out. Obama won’t, because he needs to establish his military bona fides. But, Congress may, a la Barney Frank. (Of course, military recruitment will go way down under the Dems, and it would be impossible to prosecute the war in that case.)
If they follow through, Obama will have his victory… put into place by Bush II. Just like Clinton got the credit for the economic boom put into place by Bush I and the ’94 Pub Congress.
If McCain wins, the victory is in the bag, Dem Congress or no. After all the Dem talk about Afghanistan being “the Central front”, they can’t back out just because McCain won. They might try, but McCain has too much credibility on this issue.
