…dark times weren’t manufactured by MSM

Point taken. But I also remember a time when, to amplify on Wretchard’s comment, Afghanistan and not Iraq was to be our graveyard. Now according to Mr. Obama it is the central battleground in the War against al Qaeda. So after the “dangerous distraction” of Iraq (in which al Qaeda got it’s collective ass whipped) we are coming full circle. The difference being that those originally opposed to our going to Afghanistan now fully support it.

Obama says he will send two combat brigades from Iraq to begin with and do whatever else is necessary… The interviewer asks if he has any doubts, to which he replies: None whatsoever.

Hubris or audacity of hope? Or are they really two sides of the same COIN?
