I hope that you watched it. It's really on Frontline but shown on PBS... I am completely fascinated by the machinations of the Washington machine. Dale often describes if but not in the detail that show how a few men or even one man is allowed to wield so much power.. and I am not talking about Bush.

Mcnamara was really remiss in not sending troops to the CIA in Afghanistan for a month when the Al Quada were trapped. And when you find it why... it was because back in Washington he was negotiating his power to have control over the war which at the time was in the jurisdiction of the CIA.

We could have done a lot to have ended the whole mess had we continued to pursue Afghanistan and not diverted our attention to Iraq. Just my opinion..
