If you are wondering, both of our Senators voted against Feingold's amendment to plan to withdraw from Afghanistan:
To require a plan for the safe, orderly, and expeditious redeployment of the United States Armed Forces from Afghanistan.
The vote failed 18-80 with both Frank Lautenberg and Bob Menendez voting for limitless war, or if you prefer, trusting the President and our generals. In a rational world the 80 Senators would not complain about the deficit ever again, but we know it's quite the opposite in the world we've got. I'm with Booman, I don't have any confidence. It seems even McChrystal acknowledges failure but no one will ever consider the "off ramps" (...though see this discussion of what the general said.) Call me conservative, but just because talented, hard-working people in the government want to do something doesn't mean it will work. Don't mistake me, I certainly hope I'm wrong. |
