As Iraq settles down Afghanistan seems to be bubbling over, I presume President Elect Obama has a solution beyond invading Pakistan.

It'll be interesting how the Obama faced with reality responds to the real world...

This report makes me sick to my stomach. Oh No.

God protect our forces overseas, especially those in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Not those expensive HumVees!!! Terrible. Who was supposed to be guarding the supplies?

Anyone think that A-10 Combat Air Patrols would be effective in protecting these sites?

“Let me make this clear. There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans,” Obama said.

“They are plotting to strike again . . . If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.”

Pay attention folks.... This happened in Pakistan...

Pakistan IS the Taliban.
The Taliban couldn’t exist without support from Pakistani OFFICIALS in the Military and Intelligence Services.

Pakistan is the enemy.

Crucial. Maybe $5-10 million worth. Like we will run out. These pissant little militias have no real power, but we don't go after them at all seriously. We just futz around with tenth-measures.
