Just as the Vietnam War was not Kennedy's or Lyndon Johnson's war but one generated by vested interests, it is disingenuous for Joe Klein to call Afghanistan Obama's war [Dec. 14]. The U.S. created the mess. Whatever initiative the Pentagon may come up with, al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden - who have won the hearts and minds of the majority that matters - remain a force that will haunt the U.S., just as the mujahedin did the Soviet Union.

They saw in the book an array of the same qualities they had come to discern in her during the two months of the general election: the self-serving habits, the vindictiveness, the distant relationship with the truth. For McCainworld, all the old feelings toward Palin came back in a rush. But except for chief strategist Steve Schmidt's concise dis of the book ("fiction") and communications adviser Nicolle Wallace's somewhat more lengthy refutation on The Rachel Maddow Show, virtually everyone else...
