That said, I do also think Speaker Boehner's letter to Obama asking him to explain exactly WHAT we're doing right now is a totally appropriate thing to send.

Stopped clocks and all that. (By which I mean, I agree with you, but it's kind of interesting to see the Republicans saying "but not this war!" after a decade of hawkishness. I haven't forgotten being told that only traitors oppose the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, so I can't help but roll my eyes at the caution being touted now.)
