A Tale of Two Headlines . . .
The cognitive dissonance is giving me a headache. Two headlines from yesterday’s news …
The Obama Administration:
Gates Says U.S. May Stay in Afghanistan Past 2014 Deadline
“Gates told troops in Afghanistan that the U.S. may remain in the country past a 2014 deadline for the end of combat operations… ‘We are fully prepared to have a continuing presence here assisting the Afghans after 2014…’” – National Journal
The American Public:
52% Want Troops Home from Afghanistan Within A Year
“A majority of voters, for the first time, support an immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan or the creation of a timetable to bring them all home within a year.”
- Rasmussen Reports
