Romney on The 'Stan

This is not only reasonable, it's correct:

...I think we’ve learned some important lessons in our experience in Afghanistan. I want those troops to come home based upon not politics, not based upon economics, but instead based upon the conditions on the ground determined by the generals. But I also think we’ve learned that our troops shouldn’t go off and try and fight a war of independence for another nation. Only the Afghanis can win Afghanistan’s independence from the Taliban....

(CNN 'debate')

Apparently the War Party (Kristol, Wolfowitz, et al) peed their pants when Romney said that.

Good. Nothing preventing BillyBoy from suiting up and helping fight the war himself!
