Herbert is indeed shedding crock tears. He is supremely wrong. Obama COULD have "waved his magic wand" in January 2009, and made it better....but Obama has done exactly zero, zip, nada. It is ever so much easier to blame someone else, than actually have COURAGE and take the reins to fix a problem. COURAGE from this Adm is lacking indeed.

"Afghanistan is not Vietnam. There was every reason for American forces to invade Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001. But that war was botched and lost by the Bush crowd, and Barack Obama does not have a magic wand now to make it all better."

It would have been much more difficult for Mr. Obama to look this troubled nation in the eye and explain why it is in our best interest to begin winding down the permanent state of warfare left to us by the Bush and Cheney regime.

Bobby seems to have forgotten the Empty O's chest beating and sabre rattling about Afghanistan during the campaign..........
