Talk about a nuclear winter. Much as I hate our presence there and would like to get out, I suspect that we are stuck in Afghanistan for a long time yet.

After a while, these wars get all scuffed and dirty. But a shiny, new war. Well, it practically winks at you from across the room. Really brightens the place. Everybody anxious to see all kinds of stuff blow up reel gud, reporters lining up to establish their "war correspondent" cred with in-depth reporting on what it's *really* like in the war zone.
So, can we get one? Huh? Can we? Canwecanwecanwecanwecanwecanwecanwecanwe?
