I can't disagree more with this piece. In a very rare occurrence, I actually quite agree with something a Republican said. By ramping up troops, dramatically increasing military spending, initiating drone attacks (that kill mostly civilians) on a scale never before seen, and funneling more business to private military contractors than Bush did in Iraq, the Obama Administration has absolutely owned the war in Afghanistan. This is Obama's war every bit as much as Vietnam was Lyndon Johnson's war, and the Obama Administration should be made to answer for the war crimes committed in it every bit as much as Bush should be for Iraq. Otherwise you are committing a painfully obvious double-standard favoring one of the two parties of big business.
