I agree with this to a point. There weren't a lot of people, save a few extreme lefitsts like Congresswoman Barbara Lee, who actually opposed the war in Afghanistan. The converstative strategy has been the same as the Cold War-- one nutty person opposes the war in Afghanistan and all of liberalism is suspect.

There have been criticisms of the conduct of the war, which I think might be justifiable given how badly the Bush Administration wages war.
