Now it appears that Newsweek has decided that Obama is not all that far from having RNC headquarters burglarized, or lying under oath, etc. We can evidently look forward to viewing his choked-up farewells to the White House staff soon, as he and Michelle board the Marine helicopter. No doubt in a few years the last U.S. helicopters will lift from the roof of our embassy in Kabul.

Is Newsweek magazine so short of formats for a story that they compare the counter-terrorist effort in Afghanistan to Vietnam? At the risk of answering my own questions, the answer to that is pretty clearly "no."
