For years, many lamented that the U.S. decision to invade Iraq detracted from our focus on Afghanistan and made Afghanistan the forgotten war. But now, with a false declaration that combat operations are over in Iraq, the ongoing action there has ironically become the new forgotten war. Yet, we need look no further than the recent spike in violence and American deaths in Iraq to remind us that we are still very much at war in that country. Fifteen Americans died in Iraq in June, making it the deadliest period there for American troops in two years. It is for this reason that Senator Harry Reid's forceful declaration today opposing our continued presence in Iraq should not be understated.

I have wondered why the White House hasn't been making some political hay over the success of the withdrawal timetable in Iraq. But I now see they wanted to roll this news out when people were actually paying attention.

At the same time that Senate Republicans are voicing disagreement over withdrawal timetables when it comes to Afghanistan, we are about to meet a big milestone in our withdrawal timetable for Iraq -- and it doesn't even rate a mention.

For the first time since the war began, there are fewer than 100,000 American troops in Iraq.

No so very long ago, Afghanistan was known as "the forgotten war." But these days, Afghanistan is hard to miss in the headlines. Obama needs to begin talking about our newly-forgotten war: Iraq.

Victory has not been won, nor has America's responsibility ended.
