So while we're talking about creepy Republicans, I thought I'd share this nugget from our own Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist. On Monday, Frist said this about the Afghan war:
Military versus insurgency one-to-one doesn't sound like it can be won. It sounds to me ... that the Taliban is everywhere.
He said this during a one day tour of Afghanistan which saw his helicopter pelted by stones thrown by children, and also had a suicide bomber blow up next to a NATO convoy in Kabul.
His solution to this problem? Simple!
"You need to bring them into a more transparent type of government," Frist said during a brief visit to a U.S. and Romanian military base in the southern Taliban stronghold of Qalat. "And if that's accomplished we'll be successful."
Because that's easy, Bill, right? Look how well it's doing in Iraq.
Remember when we beat the Taliban and liberated Afghanistan? Good times.
