Cash-Strapped States Look to Federal Government!

KRISTOL AND HEWITT CALL FOR STEELE TO STEP DOWN OVER AFGHANISTAN WAR REMARKS!
The Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is under fire for comments he made about the War in Afghanistan. On a recent Hugh Hewitt radio show both Hewitt and Bill Kristol call for Steele to step down:
"I don't know why he said it... or what his condition was when he said it..."
Here are the comments in question:
Michael Steele discussed the Obama Administration's prosecution of the war in Afghanistan. "The [General] McChrystal incident, to me, was very comical. I think it's a reflection of the frustration that a lot of our military leaders has with this Administration and their prosecution of the war in Afghanistan. Keep in mind again, federal candidates, this was a war of Obama's choosing. This was not something that the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in. It was one of those areas of the total board of foreign policy [that was at least?] that we would be in the background sort of shaping the changes that were necessary in Afghanistan as opposed to directly engaging troops. But it was the President who was trying to be cute by half by flipping a script demonizing Iraq, while saying the battle really should in Afghanistan. Well, if he is such a student of history, has he not understood that you know that's the one thing you don't do, is engage in a land war in Afghanistan? Alright, because everyone who has tried over a thousand years of history has failed, and there are reasons for that. There are other ways to engage in Afghanistan..."
