To get them to support the Iraq war, all we have to do is attack Iran.

...the Taliban "are proving Viet Cong-like in their intractability."

For those new to the neighborhood, this is what Col. Bui Tin, a senior staff member of Gen. Giap, said about the Viet Cong:

"Our loses were staggering and a complete surprise. Giap later told me that Tet had been a military defeat,... Our forces in the South were nearly wiped out by all the fighting in 1968. It took us until 1971 to reestablish our presence but we had to use North Vietnamese troops as local guerrillas."

Intractably dead, maybe.

I do not recall if it was Afghanistan or Iraq but I do remember AC stating that we would have KKK Byrd's full support if we renamed it the Robert Byrd War Against Terrorism.

There's therapy for that, you know.

I started doing this because someone always screams for pictures and the rules, etc. So, I figure - you want pictures, I'll give you pictures. I'll put it to a vote. Let Freepers decide if they want me to stop or not. Just say yea or nay.

I for one always appreciate your photo post to Ann Coulter threads!

*New York Times columnist Frank Rich... stated categorically that 'we're losing that battle for Afghan hearts and minds' -- proving Rich to be as competent a military analyst as any longtime New York Times theater critic could reasonably be expected to be.*

The New York Times' quagmire
Now that the Taliban have been routed, what will the media fret about?

By Norah Vincent

Nov. 16, 2001 | For a long, long time to come, the word "quagmire" will be associated with the New York Times' coverage of our present war in Afghanistan. This sadly onomatopoeic term has appeared in the Old Gray Lady nearly 20 times in the last 30 days, and has spread to nearly as many newspapers and magazines across the country. Its ubiquity has been tarnishing our morale like the worst of self-fulfilling prophesies, dragging us down into the drooping posture of the Yeatsian beast. We've been slouching toward Kabul, or so they've said.

But now we're dancing in its streets. It's time we shirked this gloomy posture, and stood up to claim our decidedly sure-footed victories in the supposedly unconquerable land of the now fleeing Taliban.

We've pulled off a stunning coup literally overnight, and we've done so in little more than a month of precision bombing. But, all the while, a ceaseless cacophony of negativity has been wafting from the haughtiest liberal corners of the homefront press. They just can't seem to let us enjoy our fine hour, however fleeting it may prove to be. There's always a dark side, always a catch to the small good we seem to be doing, or some hidden failure behind the Pentagon's proud dispatches.
