WAKE UP! the Dems are in the majority in the senate & the house. I thought you might be Rip Van Winkle, you seem to have been asleep for a decade. If Junior had some adult supervision we wouldn't be in half the mess we are in. TP

not so horrific really, TimTex imagine 15 ambush deaths per week that would be 750 per year maybe not that many, maybe it is 750 is not a figure that would qualify as horrific or huge not enough to arouse enough grapevine talk my guess is most ambushes occur at night, mostly in armed camps where soldiers live, away from the cities where the press are located have you been to Afghany? I hear and read that press reporters are 95% located in cities and large towns they are staying completely away from warlord centers near Islamabad border the press covered the assassination and the failed attempt those happened in the city of Kabul otherwise, they are told of ambush deaths and accidental deaths in military briefings they are being bottlefed via briefings on almost all events not occurring in Kabul and Kandahar some trivia: did you know the origin of the name Kandahar? the press are not scattered all across the country I dont know where you got that Afghany is 50% larger than Texas roads are almost nonexistent bands of robbers, killers, rapists are still along the countryside press reporters are advised NOT to roam the countryside especially at night this is not San Antonio / jim p.s. Kandahar = Urdu for Alexander (the Great)
