Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman appeared on at least three networks today to "remind" voters of the "difference" between the two parties when it comes to the war on terror.
Along with references to the Patriot Act, missile defense, and the surveillance program, Mehlman made an unusual remark regarding the current situation in Afghanistan.
"And again, in this war-on-terror issue, I think Americans want their leaders to have learned the lessons of 9/11, which is we need tools like the Patriot Act and the surveillance program, and it will be a big mistake to allow Iraq to become another Afghanistan, which unfortunately, I think, could happen if we followed the approach that Mr. Murtha and others have said," Mehlman said on CBS's Early Show.
NATO forces are currently on the offensive against a revitalized Taliban, and a recent report showed that Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai's control doesn't extend far beyond Kabul. There have been reports that NATO commanders have been forced to negotiate with Taliban militants, just as neighboring Pakistan has been dealing with pro-Taliban militants in Bajaur.http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/RNC_Chairman_Dont_let_Dems_turn_1107.htmlAnd...
