And so Biden rightly questions the clarity of our mission in Afghanistan, as quoted in The New Republic: "If you asked ten different U.S. officials in that country what their mission was, you'd get ten different answers."
Which of those ten answers will Obama choose? Or will he instead heed the concerns of his vice president, whom he chose for his experience and expertise in foreign policy?
Just as Iraq has been called Bush's Vietnam, Afghanistan could easily become Obama's, unless he chooses wisely. And I hope he chooses to support the troops by bringing them home, sooner rather than later.
