Afghanistan? Romney campaign says it doesn't matter. (Reuters)

Mitt Romney's Afghanistan policy is so underdeveloped that even his staunchest defenders are at a loss to explain what Romney would do to unwind the U.S.-led war there. It's becoming yet another sore spot for the campaign.

Which brings us to this from Romney Senior Communications Adviser Tara Wall:



"Unfortunately it’s disappointing that the attacks, these recent attacks on all these issues outside of what the issues are relative to Mitt Romney are diverting away from what real Americans want to talk about. And real Americans want to talk about getting back to work."

It's a one-size-fits-all answer for any criticism, or hell, even questioning, of Romney. It's all attacks that are distracting from what "real Americans" want to talk about. Except this time is very, very different.

All those troops in Afghanistan aren't "real Americans"? How about all their family members back home, waiting and praying that they'll return home safely? Are they "real Americans"? Apparently in Romneyland, they're just distractions.
