Former
Sen. Fred Thompson today intensified his party's criticism of President
Obama's long deliberation over policy in Afghanistan, announcing that
Obama's delay signals that "the war has been lost" and that nothing the
president now does will "make any difference."
"It really doesn't matter how President Obama divides the Afghan
baby, how he splits the difference between McChrystal and Biden.
Because the war has been lost," Thompson said on his radio show today.
"I say this because of one sad and simple fact. The president does not
have the will and determination to do what's necessary to win it. His
heart's not in it, and never has been. The Taliban knows it. Al Qaeda
knows it. Our allies know it. And the American people know it.

As Kathryn noted,
today Sen. Fred Thompson declared, “It really doesn’t matter how
President Obama divides the Afghan baby, how he splits the difference
between McChrystal and Biden. Because the war has been lost.” That’s right: Senator Thompson has declared America’s defeat in Afghanistan. Read it here.
I have a high regard for Senator Thompson, and greatly appreciated
his robust and courageous support for the Iraq surge in 2007. But on
this, he is dead — and dangerously — wrong.
