This was my last post: "Didn't we change our minds about Vietnam? Does changing your mind mean you've 'lost'?" You implied that it was OK for the President to change his mind, meaning, I suppose, that the Afghanistan war is no longer one of necessity. OK, so if we now cut and run, will we have lost? If you want to change the subject and run, that's OK. You backed yourself into a corner. My question, from the last post, still stands.
