Will GOP Help Obama on Afghanistan?

Politics, they say, makes strange bedfellows, and the aphorism is proving true this week as the Obama administration makes overtures to the Republican Party to help forward its plans for Afghanistan. Democrats largely oppose the White House plan to expand military operations in the war-torn country. Republicans, who have vociferously opposed Obama's domestic policy, may become allies in the foreign arena. One GOP senator told the Washington Post, "If you do what the commanders recommend, I will be an enthusiastic supporter of the president."
