VDH: "I don’t think Michael Steele should resign"

Victor Davis Hanson:
I very much think that the United States should see it through to stabilize Afghanistan, and that we now have our best shot to do just that with General Petraeus and General Mattis in charge. What Michael Steele said was unfortunate. Still, I don’t think he should resign. Let me explain.
And he does in thorough detail and he's right as usual. He concludes:
Michael Steele was probably (wrongly) trying to make political hay out of Obama’s dilemma. It was a bungled attempt, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a point, or that he should resign.
Of course Steele had a point. Unfortunately he didn't explain it well. But, unlike Obama, Steele says what he means and doesn't simply read Soros' talking points from a teleprompter.
