Good news for America is bad news for the Democrats

Bush has 10,000 people looking for Bin Laden (one man) and you still want more!!! Wow, you are pretty hard to please I would say. I know you said they are also keeping Afghanistan stable, but they are looking for ole Bin too. I see, the Army has it's troops multitasking now? Most of the Army's approx 11,500 men in Afghanistan are assigned to keep the Karzai gov't stable & in power; training the new Afghan national army. Exactly how many are hunting for Osama Bin Laden is not clear (funny how the Army likes to obfuscate these things) but it's probably not more than 1500 and definitely not more than 3,000... that would be over 25% of deployed strength. An argument could be made that it is a job for the most elite units, not mass numbers, but would more troops decrease the odds??? If Bush & Cheney had not gone on their little spree in Iraq, for reasons they cannot seem to explain, there would be plenty of troops to hunt OBL. As it is, we have to rely on Pakistan to do it. And you know they are one of our biggest friends, right?!? Sometimes the "logic" of you Bush/Cheney fans is really amazing. DSK |
