We're still in Afghanistan?
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 12:27 AM by swag
Not only that, 2005 has been the deadliest year yet for US
troops, the 2005 tally so far roughly equaling combined deaths
for the prior deadliest years: 2003 and 2004.

4. Safety and health to your son and your family. May he be back soon.
The truth is certainly not something thing we'll see in the Oregonian, I'll acknowledge that.

5. By way of one last kick,
now that President Bush has announced, albeit three years late, a "strategy for victory" in Iraq (albeit "a war strategy for a six year old," as atrios put it), perhaps he could also formulate one for Afghanistan.

6. Don't forget, Bush declared victory there last year
Which is even worse than declaring major combat operations were over in Iraq...
