I assume what Steele was saying is that Obama could have chosen to draw down in Afghanistan as opposed to a major troop build up.  And in so doing this war is now characterized as Obama's war, which I totally agree with Michael Steele in that respect.  This now is indeed Obama's war.  I expect Steele won't last much longer as head of the RNC for telling the truth.

Steele likes to talk and sometimes more than what people like to hear...technically speaking he is in error say in the first half but once you take a eagle-eye view on this Afpak killing field, you may think he was telling the truth of the ground realities for wrong people to hear!
The number of US casualties are self explanatory:

Before Obama the place was like on auto pilot occupation with 630 American dead in eight years vis a vis Obama's year and half the numbers are getting up there ...522 as of today!
Then Obama or his Z'nist handlers expanded into Pakistan that is like adding fuel to the fire in a place that really has WMDs!

BTW Ron Paul has congratulated Steele and Bill Kristol want's him to resign two sides of the political reality...

Ya, and to try and differentiate the two parties, even though for the most part they are a two-headed animal.. they do have two headed snakes...lol

This is what another Michael that is Moore said:

Goodman: As we wrap up, Michael, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What is your solution that you think should happen now?

Moore: Well, it was it last week or a couple weeks ago? We just�the Afghanistan war surpassed Vietnam as our longest war. I think we should start referring to it as what it is: it�s Obama�s war. Just as Johnson�s war became Nixon�s war, this is his war. I don�t know why he�d want a war. This is a completely unwinnable�I don�t even want to use that word, because what are we trying to win? I mean, it�s so absolutely crazy.

And I�ve seen a couple documentaries. We saw one there when we were at Sundance, and I just saw one here at Tribeca, that just show the absolute futility and st**idity of this war, and the third war that�s going on, really, in Pakistan.

So, if I had President Obama�s ear, I would say to him, "I would like you to stop this now. It�s not your war. You are absolutely right to figure out what needs to be done law enforcement-wise to bring anyone to justice who participated in the mass murder of 3,000 people. But that was a crime. That wasn�t an act of war from another nation." And it got built into that, blown into that, on purpose, by people who knew what they were doing, in order to instill fear into the country so they could get whatever the hell they wanted. And it worked. For a while, at least. And for a long while, sadly.

And he should end it. He should bring the troops home now. He should bring all the troops home from Iraq. He�s going to tell you that they�re all home at the end of the summer, but there�s probably going to be 50,000 still there. This is not�this is not our business. We had no right going there. It was an immoral act. And it�you know, who do we�I just wonder sometimes, who do we think we are as Americans, that we�re not going to have to answer for this someday? You know, whether we answer for it here or there, or if you�re a religious person and you think there�s a life after this, you know, what do you think is going to happen up at the Pearly Gates when they check your citizenship and go, "Oh, you were an American? Ha, well, here�s your list of crimes�?

�Oh, yeah. No, I was against the war! I was against the war!�

�Did you pay your taxes?�

�Well, yeah, you got to pay your taxes.�

�Well, then you helped fund this, didn�t you?�

�Oh, yeah.�

�OK, well, you know, turn around. You�re not coming in the Gates.�


unloads on Obama's handling of the Afghan war.
