Remember when liberals, including Obama, claimed emphatically that the real war against terrorism needed to be fought in Afghanistan, not Iraq? Obama campaigned based on this claim. It is shocking, then, to realize that liberals were actually being disingenuous with these claims as a way to criticize Bush. Imagine. Instead, we are now seeing that liberals also oppose the war in Afghanistan, just 7 weeks after Obama announced his new Afghanistan plan that was so crucial to the war on terror. When they're campaigning, liberal politicians must, by necessity, pretend like they actually care about America's best interests. When they are in office, however, they can show more openly that it is their far left base that guides their foreign policy decisions.
