Fred Thompson: Afghan war 'has been lost'

If it's lost blame it on Bush. It was George W. who started the war and fought it with minimal resources. It was lost when Mr.Bush decided to invade Iraq. He decided he wanted to fight 2 wars without enough troops. Afghanistan was neglected for years until it became clear that the Taliban were regaining their strength. Mr.Thompson apparently has a short memory or just doesn't care about the facts.Didn't Senator Reid get denounced as a defeatist when said that the Iraq War was lost.

in reference to:

"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."
