And the winner is…
The award for Most Insane Response to President Obama’s Afghanistan Plan goes to… Rep. John Mica (R-FL)!
“I’m taken aback by his deadline,” said U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Winter Park. “These guys wait centuries to get even. Eighteen months is nothing for them.”
Yes! The President of the United States should commit American troops to permanent war in Afghanistan for centuries, because the Taliban never forgets! If this country is attacked in the year 2211, it will be all Obama’s fault for surrendering centuries ago. Also, shouldn’t Obama know these things about the Taliban, what with his being a secret Kenyan Muslim?

Let me guess: John “Hundred Years” McCain disagrees on Afghanistan with the guy who kicked his ass in the last election. What a waste of television time.
Does anyone remember all of the interviews with Al Gore in early 2001 about all the things George W. Bush was doing wrong? Or with John Kerry in early 2005? Seriously, a majority of American voters decided that they did not wants John McCain’s policies on Afghanistan or anything else for that matter, so why does anyone even care what he thinks?
