Pentagon Says Strategy in Afghanistan Not Working

In Afghanistan, the war that McCain conveniently forgot recently, the Pentagon admitted that the strategy to combat those who actually attacked us on 9/11 is not working.

"I'm not convinced we are winning it in Afghanistan. I am convinced we can," Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in sobering testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee nearly seven years after U.S.-led forces toppled Afghanistan's former Taliban regime following the September 11 attacks.

Mullen said he was already "looking at a new, more comprehensive strategy for the region" that would cover both sides of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

Meanwhile, John McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, parroted the discredited Iraq/September 11 connection that even President Bush himself gave up on promoting.
