WHAT? - AT 10:08 A.M. ET:  Remember, Afghanistan is the good war, the necessary war, the war to protect Americans, the war George Bush ignored, the war we must win.  From The Washington Times:

The military general credited for capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq says he has only spoken to President Obama once since taking command of Afghanistan.

“I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video teleconference],” General Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a television interview that aired Sunday.

“You’ve talked to him once in 70 days?” Mr. Martin followed up.

“That is correct,” the general replied.

This revelation comes amid the explosive publication of an classified report written by the general that said the war in Afghanistan “will likely result in failure” of more troops are not added next year. Yet, the debate over health care reform continues to dominate Washington’s political discussions.

Former U.S. Ambassador for the United Nations John Bolton said this was indicative of President Obama’s misplaced priorities.

COMMENT:  I'm shocked, but not surprised.  When will Americans wake up and realize that Barack Hussein Obama Jr. isn't interested in national defense, believes most of the problems of the world are our doing, and never really thought that Afghanistan was the necessary war?

Obama is playing a dangerous game.  The question is whether, with all the protection of the media around him, he'll be caught in time.
