Another View of Steele’s Gaffs
From SeaTto Shining Sea ^ | 7/10/10 | Purple Mountains

Ann Coulter’s tongue-in-cheek article below states some important facts about the mess we now find ourselves in Afghanistan. Perhaps if Michael Steele had given this explanation for his stupid remarks, and perhaps if he hadn’t made so many other gaffs, we would not be calling for him to resign.

What is true is that Obama has transformed the war there into an un-winnable situation that is costing us heavy casualties without purpose. For once I agree with Joe Biden – that the counter-terrorism policy Of President Bush should be continued with minimum exposure of our troops.

I'm not a fan of Michael Steele - but neither do I agree with the onus laid on him for his Afghanistan comments.

His presidentship raved about Afghanistan [and Pakistan] throughout the '08 campaign. I see no reason for surprise when he follows that up by at least pretending to follow through on those claims - making it his war.

I can't confirm that this is one of Michael Steele's gaffs, but any discussion of alternate views of anyone's gaffs should include this shot:

Steele is playing a role. His core interests and instincts are not those of grassroots Republicans.

If you think his verbal outbursts are bad, just try to imagine what he is thinking.

There’s rumored to be a fish, too. And some water.
