Rich discusses how we are losing in Afghanistan is occurring not because of the Taliban or Al Qaeda's strategic advantage but because of a lack of leadership on the part of President Obama, a Congress that is raiding the Defense budget to pay for earmarks, Rules of Engagement (ROE) in Afghanistan that favor the enemy and have lead to the death of our own troops and allies and finally, the failures of our primary infantry weapon the M4 carbine.
