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."
