He has been moving around to different places and I am not sure the pakistanis and afganis are helping us. We are wusses when it comes down to war in reality.

The reality is the majority of the Afghan's are helping us....however in the regions where UBL (and other HVTs are eking out their survival) there are not large numbers of either Afghanis or Pakistanis (and those that are there mostly do not support our efforts...especially on the Pak side of the border....where UBL is).

However that is a very complex situation and for the most part Musharraff has done about as well as can be expected. But further actions are needed and must be done in the coming months by the Pak's -

But also by us.

We are not wusses in the least when it comes to war. We have fought and continue to fight the most successful unconventional war in the history of man. What we have accomplished in the last 4 years in the WOT has been amazing.

That does not mean we don't have some "wusses" or weak-kneed types throughout State, the Pentagon (and of course within the JAG community) which do cause us to be less then completely effective at times.

But each week that goes by our Intel capabilities grow and our OODA loop continues to shorten.
