Because it's "the right war"

 

President Obama has said it all along, even while campaigning for the office.

This is "the right war."

So another 1,400 troops added on to the additional 30,000 he already sent makes perfect sense.

Too bad all the available evidence shows the war is failing there.

One wonders where the sustained media coverage is on this failure?
