Townhall - Dick Morris and Eileen McGann - Afghan Report Hits Obama Where It Hurts

Townhall - Dick Morris and Eileen McGann - Afghan Report Hits Obama Where It Hurts: "The leaked Afghan war documents will prove politically devastating to President Obama, hitting him in his most vulnerable place -- his liberal base.

Having already lost all Republicans and almost all independents, Obama is shedding Democrats these days. According to the FoxNews poll, his job approval among them has dropped from 84 percent at the end of June to 76 percent in mid-July. A combination of the Afghan War, the oil spill, Guantanamo and his failure to act on immigration reform have all eroded his credibility with his liberal constituents.

Now comes evidence that the war in Afghanistan cannot be won -- certainly not with the effort and constraints now in place. It is obvious that Obama and Hillary Clinton are being duped by the Paki government and that the Afghan leadership is awash in corruption. With Pakistan offering the Taliban sanctuary next door and the government in Kabul staying in office in order to steal American aid, the Afghan War is looking more and more like Vietnam.
