Indy, while I appreciate the effort going into this (yours and our troops and intel) I thought we had or should have had more. Some one kindly pointed out that there are others in cages and various grease spots in Aghanistan.

I simply pay taxes, by doing so I expect our government to take care of this or if they need to specifically ask me to go kill someone. They haven't asked yet, but I'm willing when they need me too.

BTW, I came across this link.

I thought it was interesting but havent checked the sources. What do you think?

We are combining our efforts. See this thread for additional information.
