Coulter: "BILL KRISTOL MUST RESIGN"

Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele was absolutely right:

Afghanistan is Obama's war and, judging by other recent Democratic ventures in military affairs, isn't likely to turn out well.
...
Having some vague concept of America's national interest -- unlike liberals -- the Bush administration could see that a country of illiterate peasants living in caves ruled by "warlords" was not a primo target for "nation-building."

By contrast, Iraq had a young, educated, pro-Western populace that was ideal for regime change.

If Saddam Hussein had been a peach, it would still be a major victory in the war on terrorism to have a Muslim Israel in that part of the globe, and it sure wasn't going to be Afghanistan (literacy rate, 19 percent; life expectancy, 44 years; working toilets, 7).
...
At this point, Afghanistan is every bit as much Obama's war as Vietnam was Lyndon Johnson's war. True, President Kennedy was the first to send troops to Vietnam. We had 16,000 troops in Vietnam when JFK was assassinated. Within four years, LBJ had sent 400,000 troops there.

In the entire seven-year course of the Afghanistan war under Bush, from October 2001 to January 2009, 625 American soldiers were killed. In 18 short months, Obama has nearly doubled that number to 1,124 Americans killed.

Precisely! My very first anti-war rant pretty much said that we need to get out of Afghanistan because Obama could not be trusted to do the the job of Commander in Chief. Read the whole of Coulter's column. It's excellent. I especially liked her dig "that neoconservatives want permanent war."

I can't stand Kristol. He's a grinning fool. In fact I don't like most of the neocons. They are former Democrats and still think like big government statists. Coulter on Kristol:

Of course, if Kristol is writing the rules for being a Republican, we're all going to have to get on board for amnesty and a "National Greatness Project," too – other Kristol ideas for the Republican Party.
...
Inasmuch as demanding resignations is another new Republican position, here's mine: Bill Kristol and Liz Cheney must resign immediately.

I don't always agree with Coulter but this time she's right. She can sometimes be spectacularly bad but, when she's good, she's very very good. And no one can ever accuse her of being too shy to say unpopular things.
