Adducing yet more evidence that Michael Steele is a mendacious clown hardly seems worth the bother, but this is pretty spectacular even by his standards:
Keep in mind, again, federal candidates, this was a war of Obama’s choosing. This was not something that the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in….But it was the president who was trying to be cute by half by flipping a script demonizing Iraq, while saying the battle really should in Afghanistan. Well, if he’s such a student of history, has he not understood that, you know, that’s the one thing you don’t do, is engage in a land war in Afghanistan? All right? Because everyone who has tried over a thousand years of history has failed, and there are reasons for that. There are other ways to engage in Afghanistan without committing U.S. troops.
It starts around the 0:20 mark. I’m taking bets in comments: what Bush-era policy will Steele repudiate next? I’m hoping he blames lower tax rates on Obama.
