Congressional Dems Get Balky on Afghanistan

The last of the 21,000 new troops aren't scheduled to arrive in Afghanistan until November, but already patience among congressional Democrats is wearing thin. Senator Russ Feingold has called for a withdrawal timeline.http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1922144,00.html

The President has tough choices to make, even as Democrats in Congress are starting to waver. Last year Afghanistan was the good war and Iraq was the distraction from our real fight. Now that the Democrats are in charge they want to pullout, leadership comes with a price. The President has to make a decision does he go with the military recommendation or does he appease his base. Time will tell.
