Why ain't the war in Afghanistan being made a major presidential campaign issue?

The looooooongest war in our nation's history doesn;t even make the news anymore unless they ship a body back to some poor soldier's hometown.

We got obl which is tantamount to getting Hitler and Tojo-------MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!-------Why are still involved?

Why is this useless war not made an issue of the coming elections of presidents, senators, congressmen and dogcatchers?

    Mostly because neither party has a good exit strategy for bringing our troops home. Some try to be critical of Obama's plan, but can't offer a better one. This is a war that can't be won without gross amounts collateral damage that no civilized nation would even consider.
