I just heard this from a caller on a local radio station:

"Speaking as a veteran of Vietnam and a career military officer, this is what’s different about committing our ground troops to battle in Afghanistan: for the first time in our lifetime, this time it’s for *us*."

I think that says it all.

On another subject..,Putin has just saved $200 million per year in rent...

I imagine that was part of the deal in getting the US to "wink" on Chechnya...

And we could see the Chinese step in to take over the lease, but I kinda doubt it.
