Yeah, it was already sad watching the DNC trot out their response: the Michael Steele "hates the troops"- and hence America- line. Thanks for the nationalistic, authoritarian, conform-to-policy-or-be-branded-traitor speech, Democratic National Committee. I mean, everybody was clear you had all the sense and standards of a meth-head a week into a binge. But in case there were a few trusting souls who thought the DNC might not stoop quite so low, there you was, a-stoopin so very fucking low indeed.
As
Greenwald and others point out, despite his party-serving lie, elements of what Steele says are true- Obama
did choose to pursue and escalate Afghanistan. And the US public
is skeptical about how war in Afghanistan is helping the US. And a land war in Asia
is a bad idea. It's okay though, neocon Bill Kristol and the DNC are in agreement about Steele and how he hates America.
