I don’t think an Obama administtration will run from a widening war in Afghanistan (which seems increasingly likely). What it will do is fight it badly, preferring to imitate the limp way our NATO allies “fight” in Afghanistan now, and the way Clinton “fought” in Kosovo.

Obama will eventually cave to demands for a coalition government with the Taliban, which is tantamount to surrender, and then the Norwegian eunuchs will give him a Nobel Peace Prize. Karzai (if he hadn’t been killed by then) will be forced back into exile.
