Sigh...it appears, to my disappointment, that President Obama wants to send an additional 34,000 troops to Afghanistan. The word is Obama is supposed to layout plans for this troop escalation on Tuesday night in a prime time address. The plan includes benchmarks for success and a rationale that comes in the form of wanting to "finish the job" in Afghanistan. But what job is that? Killing bin Laden, nation building, finally eliminating the Taliban? There is so much wrong with Afghanistan I'm hoping the president's list of benchmarks is lengthy and worthy of the sacrifice. I'm not convinced it is.
I think the big question that needs to be asked of the president is why. The Democrats will now own Afghanistan.
