The Taliban now are again a legitimized government of the Swat Province in western Pakistan. The Packistani military could not oust them.

We can expect a new mid-east policy from Obama prior to the Nato Summit.

So lets put on our Anti-Bush hats for a minute and look at Obama.

1. is a war in Afghanistan legal? Were there UN sanctions against them? Did we use up all diplomatic options? When does Obama break international law?
2. How many civilian deaths are we willing to put up with? When does Obama become a murderer?
3. How far do we go in Pakistan, isnt any attack on their soil illegal?
4. How many Americans have to die before we quit?

Fair questions. We need to know what the our goverment's objective is and a time table.

Time table would be the hardest to predict with their very tough fighting terrain.
Russians found that out.

Did you know that we just negotiated with Russia who is going to start allowing supplies for Afganistan to travel through Russia to get to our troops? Yes we did.

I wonder what that negotiation cost us, or will cost us?
