At the risk of beating a dead horse, I’ll simply note the irony of the anti-war Left whose mantra was “Bring home the troops, because isn’t it terrible that our boys and girls are getting killed in Iraq?” are now panting to send them from the stabilizing situation in Iraq into the cauldron of Afghanistan?

These people are neither too smart nor consistent, but maybe that’s why things will eventually work out for the good despite their best efforts to derail them.
