Update: Andrew Card laughed off Morning Joe for "Time Horizon" (updated w/Video); from The Nation, see Graham Usher: Obama in Afghanistan--Be Careful What You Wish For and John Nichols: Obama in Afghanistan--A Wrong Turn
I bet Obama's people wish this CBS News report by Lara Logan on the Afghanistan trip gets viral.
Obama's argument that the wrong war in Iraq is diverting resources from the right war in Afghanistan in fast becoming a political truism, eradicating one major desperate hope of McCain to be portrayed as a wise foreign policy maven in the campaign.
McCain will be destroyed on domestic political issues no matter how often his new allies depict Obama as a liberal, socialist, Muslim, not-real-American in the sleazy manner of contemporary GOP politics. McCain is gone.
Would like to hear more from Obama that the Iraq War is continuing lie, and Afghanistan not too much better, but righting one imperial disaster at a time, I guess, is the best that one can hope for in American presidential politics.
