The Times: Reports on the prediction by retired US General Barry McCaffrey that the US will lose five hundred soldiers a month in Afghanistan. If this prediction comes true President Obama can forget about a second term, the US voter is already wary of Afghanistan; that shows sound judgement; but the will not tolerate an endless War, the US will be in Afghanistan for years, that's not the point, its one thing being in theatre, its another when you see five hundred body bags a month. The US voter already has health care reform to hold against Obama, this kind of loss in Afghanistan would be the final straw, the Republicans would take back the White House and the Congress, House and Senate in 2012.
