Total Horse$hit. If all we got was Mohammed Atef, which even the Taliban admits we did, it was worth it. He trained the Sept 11 gang and masterminded the Sudan ambush and the African embassy bombings. Not to mentions the Al-Queda's killed in several bombings...this idiot Pilger wins this year's Neville Chamberlain award...and a special mention for the Lord Haw Haw citation. Blow it out yer bum, limey.

This sentence kills any belief of credibility by the author:

How appropriate that the last American missile to hit Kabul before the "liberators" arrived should destroy the satellite transmitter of the Al-Jazeera television station, virtually the only reliable source of news in the region.

"only reliable source of news in the region." You gotta be kidding. Who is this moron?

"Its aim, in the short term, was to satisfy a domestic audience then to accelerate American influence in a vital region where there has been a power vacuum since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of China, whose oil needs are expected eventually to surpass even those of the US. That is why control of Central Asia and the Caspian basin oilfields is important as exploration gets under way."

Arrogant lefty scheiss. Ignorant of Geography. Assume that above statement is true. What does it have to do with Afghanistan? The pipelines from the Caspian are going west. Just another showing of lefty faux-geography.

All Pilger had to write was one sentence: "I was wrong."

Instead he tries to cover up his ludicrously fatalistic predictions of an endless quagmire with yet another, more outrageous shrieker. When this latest screed is disproven (actually it already has with Atef's death), he will gin up an evern more shrill column.

It'll be fun watching the left spun into a terminal frenzy!

Another very good article by Pilger

Really, eh? Maybe it's time to change your screen name - truth seems to matter little to you or Pilger:

Not a single terrorist implicated in the attacks on America has yet to be caught or killed.

I guess Pilger will use weasel words to get around the death of Mohammed Atef - to Pilger, I guess we have to kill the guys who actually flew the planes, but whoops, they're already dead, so why are we attacking the Taliban and Al Queda?

The ugly denial side of liberalism is laid bare before us.

Notice how these left wing writers always have to add all the kitchen sink items that bug them. In this and numberous other anti American articles on the war, they raise the dead Kyoto agreement. The issues are in no way related, but mentioning it proves that no matter what President Bush did, this author wouldn't like it.
