It's about time he (Dean) came home.. Better late than never, I guess, but he sure has been a HUGE disappointment to me the last couple of years and has caused a lot of harm to the anti-war, anti-MIC movement.... Bernie Sanders has taken his place in my heart..

P.S. ..Also it's not only not winnable but much more important, NOT MORAL.

re:: >>Once an anti-war icon, Dean has spent the past two years applauding the administration’s troop surge in Afghanistan, defending the slow withdrawal from Iraq, and endorsing the military intervention in Libya.

But now, it appears, Dean is returning to his pacifistic roots—and he has a message for President Obama: Get our troops out of Afghanistan.

In a weekend interview with The Daily Beast, Dean said he’s had a change of heart when it comes to the war he has often defended. “I actually supported the president when he sent extra troops to Afghanistan,” Dean said. “But I’ve come to believe that’s not a winnable war.”

Dean attributes his newly-held opposition to a crisis of faith in Afghan President Hamid Karzai—and in the war’s humanitarian value.
“The Vietnam War showed us we shouldn’t prop up corrupt governments, and that’s what we’ve got in Afghanistan.” <<
