Sixty-five members (including five Republicans) of the House of Representatives think we should get the hell out of Afghanistan. I would have anguished over this vote if I were a member of Congress. Both my heart and my head say that we are not going to accomplish anything there worth the cost and the lives lost. I think that is why I ultimately would have joined these folks. But, as a member of Congress I would have availed myself of the best intelligence briefings I could get before making a final decision.
