In "Come on Obama," it was suggested that admitting the U.S. was losing the war in Afghanistan portrayed the country as "weak" or "fragile." In all reality, our enemies know if we are losing or not, our troops on the ground know very well whether we are losing or not, lying about how well this operation is going is simply for the people back at home, and if anything makes us look ignorant if not completely moronic. I applaud our president for not pretending the populace is made up entirely of 4-year-olds. Thank you for at least some honesty in government.
