Support for War in Afghanistan Falling?

"The White House is facing mounting pressure from lawmakers to work harder to rally flagging public support for the war in Afghanistan.  With casualties rising, the administration is struggling to persuade voters that the war can be won or is worth the human and financial costs. Afghanistan is President Barack Obama's top foreign-policy priority, but recent polls show that a majority of voters oppose the war for the first time since the conflict began eight years ago."

Afghanistan had unfortunately become the 'forgotten war' for some time, but now the focus has shifted.  It will be interesting to see how President Obama handles this situation.  His base may not like it, but he may not have a choice but to increase troop levels if he wishes to achieve victory in Afghanistan.  Ironically, this may be the one issue where a majority of conservatives agree with the president, and a majority of liberals do not.  I just hope the president does the right thing, doing what needs to be done to protect our troops and win the battle, and keeps the issue from becoming political. 
Hmmm, come to think of it, I wonder where all those anti-war protests went?  You remember, the ones so prevelant during the Bush Administration?
