re: The "nitty gritty" of running the Taliban takedown didn't hit the oval office. <I assume you mean al Qaeda>. If not, it should have. I don't know how many lives have been lost because the al Qaeda leadership survived our war (retribution) in Afghanistan. re: We had a major failure at Central command in planning. If we had committed the Delta force in Hind Helicopters, with B-52's overhead for Arty support, we could have taken Osama down in Tora Bora, IMO. They made the mistake of leaving it to locals. We agree, and ultimately whose failure is that? Especially with a failure that large, that is still impacting us today. re: We had plenty of guts, in spite of all the vapors from the left about how Afghanistan was going to be awful. It's a good thing to have "vapors", it keeps you from being over-confident. And Russia didn't exactly have an easy time in Afghanistan. And hell, it doesn't look to be over, does it? John
