Heard a description of the raid on the radio yesterday.
Commenter said the building was cleared from the bottom up...
That seemed odd.
Wouldn't it be safer to clear it from the top down?
Whatever the truth is, it'll never be public.
Guess we don't really need to know, anway.
After just a few days, they're already moving for withdrawal from A-stan and budget cuts.

Budget talks will be shifted to cutting military spending.
Never let a crisis (or success) go to waste.
From the article:
Quote:
A new poll released Wednesday by Gallup found more than 50 percent of Americans still think the country has work to do in Afghanistan, but also revealed a significant party split.
Fifty-four percent of Democrats said the U.S. had achieved its goal in Afghanistan, compared to 38 percent of Republicans and 44 percent of independents.
On Capitol Hill, many lawmakers are worried not only about those polls, but about the cost of continuing the war at a time of record deficits. The fact that recent attempted attacks on U.S. soil have been hatched in other countries also has raised questions about continuing the fight in Afghanistan.
During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Tuesday, several committee members zeroed in on the tens of billions of dollars Washington already has spent in Afghanistan, and questioned whether such expenditures are sustainable in the future.
