Did you hear Hillary lambast the Pakistani government for dragging their feet in apprehending Al Queda? "I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn't get them if they really wanted to."

Where in the world is Osama bin Laden?
And here at home we have to cut 30% from our budget to take care of the troops at home.
Brad- that's a dilemman with bin Laden, you can't blow him up to smiderins otherwise there won't be a body of evidence to verify the big prize. Yet, if you surround him during a door-to-door manhunt and he dies in a blaze of glory, it'll glorify his life. Anyways, bin Laden isn't hiding out where the US is fighting. We're militarily engaged with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Al Queda is not the Taliban, if that needs repeating. Furthermore, Al Queda are outsiders, and the Afghanis look upon al Queda as outsiders. Pakistan? It's common knowledge that Lt. Gen. Mahmoud Ahmad, then director of the ISI (Pakistan's CIA), wired $100,000 to Atta (based on India intelligence but nevertheless confirmed by the FBI), I have doubts about the Pakistani gov't's agenda much less where their true loyalty lies.
Nate- Sen. Inouye said that for every 1,000 troops, it costs a billion dollars for support. It don't take a genius counting his two middle fingers that for the cost of sending just 5,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, the federal gov't would have paid for Honolulu's rail system. 40,000 troops, that's 8 Honolulu light rail systems. Asides from dat, each week in Iraq costs the US over $2 billion. 2½-weeks in Iraq, would also pay for our Rail. Among many other things that will still be standing many years later.
Ronw, I'm really enjoying your blog. Would you mind if I included you in my sidebar?
