Subject: RE: BS: Rice to testify publicly, under oath
"I would also remind you that the first act did not take place in Iraq, it took place against the Taliban in Afghanstan."

That act consisted of sending a small number of special forces troops to Afghanistan to help the existing rebel forces rout the Taliban government. Those special forces were then moved to Iraq to capture Sadaam. While they were looking for Sadaam, the Taliban regained control of about half of Afghanistan. Now they're back in Afghanistan looking for Osama.

The special forces apparantly are well trained to successfully fight the battle with terrorism. So why do we have 130,000 American targets in Iraq who are not trained to fight terrorism?
