CNN's question: Obama's patriotism  —  I've got to say, I've never seen a reader poll like this on a mainstream media website (or, to be honest, a right-wing blog).  This is currently on CNN.com.  —  And just today (in a very interesting exchange with the Cleveland Jewish Community) …

Two Winnable Wars  —  No one can return from the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan, as I recently did, without believing that these are wars that can still be won.  They are also clearly wars that can still be lost, but visits to the battlefield show that these conflicts are very different …
