Freedom is on the march again... "Afghanistan"

The Bush administration declared more than two years ago that major combat in Afghanistan was over. Tell that to the 60 young men of Battle Company.

For the past four months, the U.S. paratroopers and other American units have been fighting a war thousands of feet up in the sun-blasted peaks and boulder-strewn defiles of one of history's most grueling battlefields.

They're facing guerrillas who were born here, hardened by poverty and backwardness, and steeped in a centuries-old tradition of resisting foreigners. The guerrillas' aim is to impose another hard-line Islamic regime on Afghanistan, one that might make the country once again a sanctuary for Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida jihadis.

1. 8000 troops there

and 138,000 in Iraq wasting their time, money and blood while the people who hit us on 9/11 are still there most likely or in the border areas of our other "friend" pakistan.

Taliban creeping back in and with them most likely al qaida nutsos.

and yet we are in iraq? Disgusting

2. Yup... can't let the Euro sneak into Iraq... and we cannot let the

French and German (as well as Russian I am sure) contracts come to fruition.... we would have to adjust the lifestyles of the average corporate executive... and you know that war will/has come before that ever happens.
