The thing everyone forgets when something happens in politics.

"That thing" being the WAR. With everything so wound up in the primaries, and Romney in the headlines for saying questionable things and McCain lying about Romney lying and Bill Clinton talking smack about Obama and Obama winning South Carolina, the war (or should I say wars, as we are fighting in both Iraq and Afghanistan) seems to have been conspicuously absent from most reporting. Bob Schieffer kindly reminded the country this week on Face the Nation. At a time like this, it is essential to not forget this horrible on-going event. And if you really can't remember, look here. I hope their faces will make you remember.


update...
I just checked the New York Times website and they do have a small story. Thank god. They also have on-going coverage that you have to seek out on the website.

The decline of the war as an issue in the presidential campaign is truly remarkable. Now it's all about the economy, even though recessions come and go. By the way Bob Schieffer hosts "Face the Nation," not "Meet the Press."

oops, I don't know why I mixed that up. Fixed now.
