Andy I gotta give you credit for trying but to claim there is no liberal bias because of one cover picture is fruitless.
As for Afghanistan let the Taliban regroup, it will be all the more easy to find them. I mean, lets face it. The rest of the world and a large majority of Americans are getting softer on the threat of terrorism...this is what the Bush doctrine has caused do to its prevention of large scale terror attacks around the world by going on offense militarily rather than using law enforcement defensively. The more we fight and the more we kill in both Iraq and Afghanistan the more we will break the back of the terrorists. Couple that with helping these people better there lives and we have a winning strategy...even if it takes a whole generation.
