Reply #236: No strong democrat needed - any remotely qualified republican will beat him

because he will not hold his base if there is not movement out of Afghanistan by the time of the election.

without the left 10%, the centrists dems are not going to be enough to overcome the republicans and independents.

And he knows it.

BTW he is not invading afghanistan. That was done years ago by Bush. He is making it possible to LEAVE Afghanistan without it blowing up in our faces.

the last time we abandoned it, we wound up with a trade center bombing, a couple plane bombings, two embassies bombed, a Navy destroyer bombed and then 9/11.

You really want to abandon afghanistan again, to see what new tricks they'll come up with?
