The forgotten war in Afghanistan. Both democratic candidates like to point out that Pres. Bush took his eye off of the real war, the one in Afghanistan where we are supposed to be searching for Bin Laden. They want to pound the podium that Pres. Bush lied about WMDs and that's the reason we are in Iraq.
So I want to know why none of the media ever follow up on these assertions. Since both senators are so concerned for our exit plan from Iraq, I have these questions for them:
- How many troops are you planning to commit to Afghanistan to fight the real war?
- How long will it take to find Bin Laden?
- What will you do with him when you find him? Will you invite him to the White House so you can sit down and talk?
- When will you have all of our troops out of Afghanistan? Is that a date certain?
- How long will it take to establish a functioning democracy in Afghanistan?
- Or do you even care what kind of government is established in Afghanistan as long as we get Bin Laden?
- What will you do to curtail the heroin production in Afghanistan or do you care about their economy?
- When you win the war in Afghanistan and run Al Qaida into Pakistan what will you do?
- Do you only want to capture Bin Laden or are you concerned about the millions of others who want to kill us?
I suspect that it is just their way of saying Bush was WRONG, and the media plays along. But someone needs to ask them.
