What ninnyism: What happens if Al Qaeda attacks the U.S., or if Afghanistan or Pakistan falls while we're at war in Iraq? Can we continue to meet all our commitments with an all-volunteer army? One would suppose we had 200,000 men tied up in Afghanistan not 200 or whatever the figure is. Afghanistan is an on-going police action, not a war, and if this is the best excuse Rich can come up with for not do Iraq, he's really scraping the barrel. I mean, now Rich is all for sticking to Afghanistan? Was he for invading it last fall? Seems to me I heard a lot about the "brutal Afghan winter" from him. Now he has shifted his argument, in which only one constant theme can be found - to oppose whatever this administration does, reasons to be found afterward.
