Tajik, Uzbek, Pashtun, Iranian, Indian Hindu, Turk, Saudi

this has to be the most challenging multi-D Chess game that the US Military has ever been up against

heard last night that several months ago, the Taliban shot dead 11 Iranian emissary diplomats in west Afghany
seething hatred between Iran and Taliban

I see crazy irony here
Pakistan is helping US Intell the most
but Paki contains the strongest supporters for Talibans
Paki must maintain a pacifying stance with supporters in refuge

the wildcall danger sign is India with Kashmir
India is feeling let a wallflower, restless, angry

I honestly wonder how many fighters out there even know what NewYorkCity is, let alone World Trade Center
oy, Jim

Egyptian and Saudi national airlines refuse to cooperate with antiterrorism efforts by providing passenger lists:

chicagotribune.com

Excerpt:

Federal officials said Wednesday that Saudi Arabia and Egypt have refused to cooperate with American efforts to identify terrorists and other criminals on aircraft flying to the United States.

Ninety-four airlines cooperate, but Saudi Arabian Airlines and Egypt Air are among a handful that do not electronically provide passenger lists when planes begin their flights to the U.S., the officials said.

The new customs commissioner, Robert Bonner, said airlines should be required to collect and provide names and other basic information about passengers traveling to America.

"It should be mandatory," Bonner said. "It should be a condition for getting landing rights in the United States."

think US Air Force is stalling till the Govt can find a political solution for the post war Afghani

As soon as Bush and Powell finish speaking with China ? IMO that's an important issue. They can no more be left a wallflower than India, probably less so.
