Roebear, you're scaring me...I'm actually starting to understand what you're talking about! I'm sure this pull-back has everything to do with the CNN reports of the Taliban employing up 250,000 troups.

Also from CNN:

Stufflebeem also indicated U.S. military officials have been surprised by the determination of the Afghans, but he said the U.S.-led strikes would continue until the Taliban are toppled.

"They are proven to be tough warriors. We're in an environment they obviously are expert in," said Stufflebeem, the deputy director of operations for the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"I am a bit surprised at how doggedly they're hanging on to power. For (Taliban leader) Mullah Omar to not see the inevitability of what will happen surprises me. We are prepared to take however long is required to bring the Taliban down."
