If they're literally breeding so many terrorists over there shouldn't we make it priority to do militarily? (FID taking place?) Maybe our Government thinks, or wants us to think we're fighting them by stomping them out at the borders, (in the mountains), in Afgahnistan. It just seems like we are really backing off on operations over there. Like I said before, maybe I just don't know what's going on, but I'd like to think that much has been obvious. We are suppose to be turning a lot of the responsibility over to NATO in the near future, and I just don't understand. Hate to see our soldiers die over there on those past "special missions" that seemed to be making a big diff. at the time, and now we're letting up before the job is done. Taliban and AQ still getting stronger in those parts-true or not?? That's where we went first, then left for Iraq before we really "WON". Just don't understand, seems awful political to me. Thanks for the reply Sir! BB

You need to do a lot more reading on insurgencies and Islamic extremism, get a broader perspective in your news and current events reading and work on your analytical process/critical thinking.
Musharraf is doing a far better job, IMHO, than anyone likely to replace him.
