I think hell just froze over. I actually agree with Michael Steele AND Ron Paul on something. Since Obama has chosen to continue -- and escalate -- our combat activities in Afghanistan, it's now his war.
Steele, the RNC chairman, has come under fire recently for saying that the situation in Afghanistan is a "war of Obama's choosing" and suggesting it is not winnable. And Paul is defending that position.
That didn't sit well with the hawkish GOP that thinks the mess in Afghanistan is necessary and winnable (and nothing that Obama should be credited for).
Many are wondering whether Steele's remarks will force him out of his position, although that seems unlikely.
Besides, it's possible that the GOP is so desperate to have a token African-American in such a high-level party position that they'll complain but keep him there anyway. (It's the equivalent of "Some of my best friends are black, but...")
Time will tell.
In the meantime, it's fun to watch.
