Washington moved to address the mounting concerns about US military tactics and the lack of concrete achievement to date. Republican Senators and Pentagon advisers...

Is this a reference to McCainiac? What about all the screeching from the left? Can you fair and balanced? I thought not.

Along with supplies can you imagine the intel data base that has had to be accumulated in this very short period of time.

Also a good point. Having more Special Forces guys on the ground will accelerate that process quite a bit.

Like the senator who is insisting that we "go in and feed the starving Afghans." Jesus Chr*st on a Crutch. With _what_? From _where_? Using _what_ ports? Using _what_ roads?

Best we can probably do in the short term is continue the air drops. They've put in over a million food packets so far...

"I hope you follow what I'm saying because I can't think of any other way to say it. Probably cause I don't understand it myself."

I think it is called heuristics.

You know, it is this man and W that have allowed me to go on with my life without even having to spend anytime worrying about what is going on in Afghanistan. I have complete faith in their abilities.

I agree. With Clinton, we (you and I) had to keep our guard up every day. I actually feel safer even with all these problems.

I don't think they should let us know ahead of time? What kind of war is this?

There isn't anyone in the world that can do anything about it known or unknown.
