In the last month, Obama has strung together a chain of foreign policy quotes which will hurt him if (by some chance) he wins the democratic nomination next year. His latest one is:
"We've got to get the job done there," he said of Afghanistan. "And that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there."Now, it is probably easy to read into what he is trying to say and realize that he's talking about the need to capture and control regions within Afghanistan rather than raid, kill the Taliban, leave, let the Taliban return, go back in and kill more Taliban, etc... But when it comes to commercials and talking points, he is quickly dooming himself.
