Remember the Stone Age Press saying the Taliban was preparing for a Spring/Summer offensive in Afghanistan? Remember how doomed out troops were going to be? Wrong again Pravda.
Pray for W and Our Troops
The Taliban WAS planning a spring offensive. Then 3-10 was extended an extra 4 months so that we went from 1 maneuver brigade in RC East to 2 of them. There is still a fight there, but it makes it a lot harder on the Taliban when there are more American soldiers there.
A common statement, roughly transliterated from Russian, during the Soviet era was:
There is no truth in Pravda [Russian for truth]. There is no news in Izvestiya [Russian for newsthe official newspaper]
Sounds about right.
