Why is this being reported BEOFRE the fact? Let's let the enemy either prepare to fight or go to ground. Either way, the ob of our brave troops is only made harder in either the short run or long run by these reports. Do we just not care aboout the element of suprise anymore?

I'm thinking it's so the women and children will have an excuse to leave. Makes it easier for our guys to operate.

It's being reported AFTER the fact, to make the administration look incompetent because everyone knows Iraq is Viet Nam. 'Course everyone KNEW Afghanistan was Vietnam too, but the entire world tends to forget that cesspool exists unless there's some incident they can bash Bush with, like the alleged assassination attempt on Cheney that kiled 2, 8, 20 or "over 20" depending on which media report you read.

God bless our troops. They need it to counter the "progressives" and third partiests.
