Kristol: Michael Steele Must Go
Dear Michael,
You are, I know, a patriot. So I ask you to consider, over this July 4 weekend, doing an act of service for the country you love: Resign as chairman of the Republican party…
There are, of course, those who think we should pull out of Afghanistan, and they’re certainly entitled to make their case. But one of them shouldn’t be the chairman of the Republican party.
Sincerely yours,
Seriously, how could Steele ever have said,
This was a war of Obama’s choosing. This was not something that the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in.
That is simply mind-boggling. It’s far beyond Hillary Clinton’s imagined adventure in Bosnia, where she landed under fire at the Sarajevo airport. I admit that was strange. But anyone who remembers 9/11 knows that Steele’s statement is bizarre. The GOP should cut its losses, and fast.
