OBAMA ON THE "GOOD" WAR - AT 8:08 A.M. ET:  When he was running for office, which he's still doing, President Obama called the war in Afghanistan the good war, and the war in Iraq the bad war.  Suddenly, Afghanistan doesn't seem so good to him, and it certainly doesn't seem good to his hard-line leftist supporters, who don't think any war America is involved in is good:

KABUL (Reuters) - The new U.S. policy for Afghanistan to be unveiled soon will contain an exit strategy and include greater emphasis on economic development, President Barack Obama said.

With violence rising ahead of elections in August, Obama has already committed an extra 17,000 troops to Afghanistan, but on Sunday he said military force alone would not end the war.

"What we can't do is think that just a military approach in Afghanistan is going to be able to solve our problems," he said in an interview with CBS's "60 minutes."

COMMENT:  You will notice the words.  The word "victory" is missing.  The word "win" is missing.  The word "democracy" is missing.  Those words have little meaning for this crowd.  And what's there?  Why, of course.  It's the "exit strategy."  Imagine if President Roosevelt had spoken of an "exit strategy" after Pearl Harbor. 

Obama is turning quickly into Carter, and we will need a Reagan to restore our national morale.
