Jim - I've read the Stratfor report too and can't possibly see how you have drawn the conclusion you have! IMO the US has to wage two wars - a cosmetic war - selective strikes on terrorist camps etc, and the more important war - a covert war against terrorism.

But things can get out of hand - we're told that SAS and Seals are already on the ground - we've also been told - denied by the Taliban and less emphatically by the US - that 5 of the Americans have been captured. What if we have show trials, prisoners being paraded or used as shields?

But one has to be sceptical of all reports now - for example the 'allies' have to be shown to be seen to be doing something - so a (false) report of ground forces in Afghanistan fills the bill rather nicely - for now.
