The other thing to remember is that we are getting to the end of war season in Afghanistan. The Taliban will have to retreat back to their safe havens in Pakistan before the first snow.

If they don't they will be obliterated. I remember when the press started going batty over the "Taliban Offensive," or what the rest of the world calls Spring.

Essentially we’re are beating ourselves, I find some of the media coverage so defeatist that if you aren’t a devoted follower of incountry news, you’d think it’s all over.

It’s not. And saddens me that so many are willing to leave a place that will be threatening to us in no time at all. But unless we have the resolve to deal with Pakistan, there is no solution to Afghanistan.

Abu Jihad would definitely have Uncle Sam’s scalp pinned on his turban.
