Mission Accomplished

The vote to extend the "mission" has had one success. It has liberal pundits writing "serious" pieces about how the "mission" is moving away from a combat focus. The fact that that is complete nonsense is secondary. The victory is in the propaganda value of such pieces. Inertia will guarantee the Tories (and their little Liberal poodles) at least two to three years of such glowing treatment, until reality, finally reasserts itself. So kudos to the Tories for at least one victory in the Afghan war.
