Obama, Afghanistan, and the Election of 2012

The president says that "now is the time for us to transition," i.e., to end the war in Afghanistan.  The Army Times puts the headline thus: "Obama: Time has come to wind down Afghan war."

The Army Times is typical of the sycophantic, leftist press.  Not a word in the article about the conditions on the ground in the theater of operations, or of the effect a swift pull-out may have upon national security.  Not a syllable in the article that the president's taking the line that "it's time to end the war" might be a way to enhance his chances at reelection.  Lots of filler about Syria and high gas prices.  And FIVE PARAGRAPHS on the Sandra Fluke story and the president's situation in terms of women voters.

There you have it.  Two national disgraces in a single story:  The Army Times and the president of the United States.
