Joe, what's bizarre is that you seem to think Afghanistan is anything but a 5th rate power. How do you get to the conclusion that its something more than that? And by what measure do you take pride in defeating the Taliban? You liberals want to have it both ways. Iraq and Afghanistan are "5th rate powers", but the world's only superpower can't handle them both. Politicizing the issue, once again. Sickening.

Ted, what's bizarre is that you seem to think Afghanistan is anything but a 5th rate power. Where did you get that? It is the liberals who say we shouldn't go to Afghanistan, because everyone whoe went in was defeated, then another liberal (Algore) says they are a fifth rate power, than yet another liberal - Ted Kennedy - says that we are stretched too thin fighting these fifth rate powers. You make a sense out of it, if you can. The United States military needs to be capable to handle a superpower, or actually a superpower and a second front. If Ted Kennedy thinks that we can't deal with 2 fifth rate powers, and he is a patriot, it shuold sound an alarm, and he should re-examine the US capabilities in his capacity as a US Senator. Of course, that is assuming that he is serious, and not just playing politics, which I think you would agree he is just playing politics. Joe
