Afghanistan: Obama has told us before

Afghanistan: Obama has told us before

Short version:

Waaaay back in 2002, state senator Barack Obama told us that Iraq was the wrong war and Afghanistan was the war we needed to fight. But at caucus time, progressives pretended not to hear the Afghanistan part of Obama’s statements. It was, so to speak, drowned out by the applause, ignored in our disgust with Bush’s main war.

Long version: my Des Moines Register post.
