"The steady and patient application of force that Rumsfeld has touted may yet pay off, particularly if either bin Laden or Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban leader, slips up and is caught by allied special forces or in the cross hairs of an American gunship. But just as the NATO nations during their 1999 war with Yugoslavia began arguing about the need for ground troops as the alliance sought to deliver a knockout blow from the air, the ground-troops debate about Afghanistan is intensifying, as well." We don't have clinton in command, THANK GOD! I tend to believe Rumsfeld, et al are not going to succumb to the pressures of public opinion.
I agree, there is so much noise from the babbling media and especially the NY Times, which seems to be attacking anything Bush does!
I sure it helps the circulation to be putting up all kinds of theories about what happened or what should of happened!!
