In the chaos that followed the removal of Russia,the single most repulsive faction,the Taliban,via relentless extreme fanatical energy ultimately grabbed the power centers of Afghanistan.By the time they entered Kabul there was virtually no building standing. Yes,the taliban was one of the factions we indeed supplied with arms.It is a catastrophe they then beat all the other factions ;but they are still out there in those mountains.We need,yes,evaluate those factions,and if i was in the the strategy room i would now be breaking down the whole complexity of the Afghan factions,and their locations,etc.etc. I admit this is not simple and i am not in a war room,but i feel these matters are now being heavily discussed and debated. In the end this is about cool heads AND resolve---we don't have a quick knee-jerk action available. We can do some "message" sending via surgical bombing of Taliban headquarters ---but that is not the solution--and the more i write about this the more my anger regards George Bush,sr decision---we did all that planning, all that huge effort and so what happens!! Bush QUITS!!! with the prime target-Saddam,himself,alive and well--what was that bonehead thinking!!! the whole function of the mission was destroyed the day Bush said "Stop the run to Baghdad" Max
