The weekly said Russian troops are operating tanks that had been given to the Northern Alliance as part of Moscow's military aid and are awaiting orders for an offensive against Kabul.

guess what, let them have Kabul. Kabul is a city easy to take, hard to keep. I'd rather have US forces in the mountains than Russian forces there.

By the way, I think we will cave in to Russian demands however. Securing the heroin trade for the Russian mob.

I'm interested in just how far they will go on this money laundering trail. Be a lot of our own big shots in jail if they follow the drug money.

Ahh, the local racist Russophobe is at it again. Funny, I'd think the US would be more interested in the heroine, since there is probably three times the demand for it in America and that Columbian stuff is not as good a quality. Can't say the same for their cocaine but hay, who am I to speak? You see, if Russia doesn't get in there, their king will have not chance to come back, as Pakistan will dictate US stance on Afghan and more of the same will follow...seeing how with US aid, Pakistan created the Taliban.
