I'm half way there, Doug, and have pointed out many times in the past that the US has done an excellent job in creatin' plenty of folks in the terorists sign up lines and now that your guy says, "Awww, heck with it. We might have created some of these folks but no matter, we're gonna get 'em!" he turns his attention to other wars while this one he's loosing.

Yeah, he catches *someone* today who is somewhere between a *no body* and a *big Al Queda Cheeze" (who knows, he wasn't on the big ol' top 20 picture list...) but for the most part, the US is loosing not only Afganistan to the warloards but the "War on Terrorism" to Republican politics...
