(Link below). Having waited now for months for Obama to explain to the American people exactly what the objective and plan are in Afghanistan, and having become quite convinced that there is currently little or no coherent plan or objective over in that hellhole, I'm inclined to agree with Will at the moment. Another big question: Will anyone on the American left join Will in calling for a troop pullout? Don't hold your breath there. With a democrat in office, the American left by and large doesn't give a rat's behind about foreign wars that lack articulated plans and objectives. They only hit the streets when a republican is presiding over such wars. As I like to say, those hypocrites have run for the hills on this one!

Follow-up links below. The first is Will's actual column, which appeared today. The second is a Politico.com article from today concerning White House worry that the American left is going to start making noise about Afghanistan. We'll see. They've mostly been silent so far.
