Do you deny the fact that the Northern alliance does not want us in their country anymore that the Taliban does? Do you realize that if the Afgans decided to be non-combatents in this war that we would have 100,000 troops over there. We are only rolling with the flow and using the tools that are available. We are not forcing them to engage the enemy.

If we inserted the requisite number of troops needed for this operation and the Afgans participated like they are now, the death toll on the Afgan side would be staggering. These guys don't wear uniforms. It would be a huge UN syle failure. In this case it is better to let the locals do the ground operation with our support. The job is getting done beautifully.

Not at all. I am very much aware of that fact. And it is troubling. I know that we'll screw them over once things are all complete. They are not worthy of our respect.
