DQ, you predicted last month Republicans would come out against the war in Afghanistan simply as a partisan measure against Obama. That could technically still happen but I haven't seen it yet although uscitizen claimed McCain was for it switched to being against the war and is now for it again all within the span of a month and all under the radar because it was never reported but he somehow knew about it. Well here you have Democrats in Congress not coming out against it but definitely showing concern. Let me know when Republicans in Congress come out against this week because I don't believe they will and think it will reek of political opportunisim if they do.

support for the war is waning period
as i have said before, we never should have gone into iraq and should have concentrated on afghanistan
now the citizens of the u s of a are losing interest in pouring resources into what looks like a losing proposition - corruption and no viable government
maybe like viet nam
ps we need about 100,000 additional troops to make a serious dent in the problem and maybe that would not be enough
also, that would have to be a lump surge
but first get out of iraq and let them deal with the partisan bombs
