Kerry's Afghan Amnesia
In one fell swoop, Charles Krauthammer reminds us just how the candidate feels about the war in Afghanistan, and, just what went on there. Great piece. Draws a distinction between the candidates about as large as the Grand Canyon in a way that makes you feel safer with Bush. I'll take safer over surrender anyday.
An excerpt: "Within days of Sept. 11, the clueless airhead president that inhabits Michael Moore's films and Tina Brown's dinner parties had done this: forced Pakistan into alliance with us, isolated the Taliban, secured military cooperation from Afghanistan's northern neighbors, and authorized a radical war plan involving just a handful of Americans on the ground, using high technology and local militias to utterly rout the Taliban."
Kerry's Afghan Amnesia. In the 1990s, Afghanistan was allowed to fall to the Taliban and become the global center for the training, indoctrination and seeding of jihadists around the world -- including the mass murderers of Sept. 11, 2001. This week, just three years after a two-month war that destroyed the Taliban, Afghanistan completed its first free election, choosing as president a pro-American democrat enjoying legitimacy and wide popular support.
