I started typing an entry thing for this image a couple of days ago only to realize that I don't know my way around a European QWERTY board. Actually, that's a lame excuse. The Euros and their keyboards aren't all that different, I just totally forgot to post this and I needed a reason. So not only is the reason lame, but so am I. But let's not let my inadequacies in international interfaces detract...

Fred Thompson says the Afghanistan war is lost!

Crooks and Liars (Free subscription) | yesterday

I'm totally against the Afghanistan war, as C&Lers know, and it was lost as soon as Bush and Cheney decided to attack Iraq. Any chance to stabilize that region was lost immediately thereafter. The world had rallied around Afghanistan in such a way that that country could have been reconstructed and repaired by now. So President Obama finds himself in a bad situation caused by conservative beliefs...
