Our objective being in Afghanistan is to route a criminal cabal who's virtual manifesto is to bring harm to America, her people and those who side with us against their extremist destruction. To the extent that we are waging war against the Taliban..they were the regime who were not only aiding and abetting this criminal syndicate but they joined forces with them....You know like when a fugitive is hold up in a friends home and the friend knocks out a window and takes up arms to help fend off officers there to execute a duly authorized arrest warrant? Sort of like that.
Well now, just because this guy and his friend are putting up a fierce fight and have managed to kill a few officers in the process...you don't just pack up, return to the station and give them a pass. You commit whatever force necessary to bring them to justice. Now it's possible they won't get their day in court as they are armed, dangerous and highly resistant. Because of that, they could be killed first. If they are not and either surrender or are otherwise captured..then because we're not savages nor criminals, we deliver them for their day to face justice.
Now this fella and his friend who are still putting up a fierce battle may have been taken down long before now had the Police Chief not underestimated their will and capability. In so doing, the Chief decided he had another priority and pulled much needed resources off the case. The Chief so certain that another fellow in the same neighborhood possessed illegal assault weapons, that he conspires to take anecdotal evidence and "sweeten" it up to look like probable cause evidence in order to secure warrants against this individual and his properties.
Needless to say the Chief diverts much need manpower and resources trying to hunt down this guy, his associates and search is many properties only to find this guy doesn't have the contraband he's alleged to have possessed.
A new Chief comes in and says we should have never done such a thing and certainly never should have taken the focus off of these two, known killers that are now giving us a helluva time trying to bring them to justice. He rededicates his police force in more numbers to end the impasse knowing full well that an increased assault on these individuals will likely come at a cost of more casualties. But these killers not only need to be brought to justice, if they are not they've shown the commitment to kill again.

I guess things aren't going to bad in afgahnistan because I haven't
seen much news coverage on it.
Either that or nothings happening.
What facetious is saying is either get in there with the necessary amount of troops and resources and get the job done.
Or just get out and hope for the best.
Don't make it a long, drawn out thing in which many die in vain.
Take care of business as we are capable of.
Iraq was a different story.
There the job was done swiftly (taking out saddam), but there was no stopping the sociopathic nut jobs from going into that country and blowing up and killing soldiers and civillians by the thousands.
i guess there was just too many of them in too great an area to control.
Considering they still don't have a functioning GOV and wer'e still there demonstrates that I believe.
Should the people involved in making the decision to go into Iraq (democrats and republicans) should have seen that coming? I would say so.
My anger however is towards the people responsible for the actual killings, anfd the chaos rather than simply the PREZ and vice Prez,
Which is the general attitude of the people in the USA and the world.
An example is the father of Nick Berg who was decapitated on video.
Bergs father publicly blamed Bush , but not the men who actually did the horrible act.
Same goes to Cindy Sheehan.
For some reason though todays people like to blame their own before the actual perpetrators
Anyway, I hope this guy is treated well and not murdered.
If he is, doesn't that show that these people are sub human and don't deserve any sympathy regarding their
treatment in our hands.
