I've always found his support for the action in Afghanistan a little  
bit phony.

It sounds like he needs to say "yes" to Afghanistan to sound  
legitimate in saying "no" (a relative "no") to Irak.

For me it is all gesticulations to appease the military maniacs while  
he focuses on the economic issues that are more likely to seat him at  
the White House.

I mean, it is not like he based his campaign on military/foreign  
issues did he ?
