Well our government is not doing Sound Analysis..... Cops vs Taliban/AQ is not ever going to solve the problem but they are going forward with that type of option.

Just read that DEA is going forward with expanding the office in Kabul from a small office to a Full Division with an SES in-charge. All I can say is I hope they bring a bunch of BB's. Cops vis warlords/Taliban/AQ is not the way to go. DoD does not want to do LEO opns like Drug interdiction but in that environment the only people that can effectively do this is DoD. I predict that it will go just like Snow Cap..... As soon as the 1st BB is filled they will pull out.
