Bill Kristol: No Mention of Afghanistan (What War?)

"Mitt Romney said not a word about the war in Afghanistan. Nor did he utter a word of appreciation to the troops fighting there, or to those who have fought there. Nor for that matter were there thanks for those who fought in Iraq, another conflict that went unmentioned."

"Leave aside the question of the political wisdom of Romney's silence, and the opportunities it opens up for President Obama next week. What about the civic propriety of a presidential nominee failing even to mention, in his acceptance speech, a war we're fighting and our young men and women who are fighting it?"

1. Bill Kristol has never been right about anything in his life. Except this.

Really strange choice that Romney campaign made.

Possibly because Romney's bushco foreign policy advisors want to double down in Afghanistan.
