Things Fall Apart (Version Afghanistan)

A Spanish eyewitness in the second helicopter has apparently confirmed that a helicopter which crashed in Afghanistan killing 17 Spanish peacekeepers assigned to NATO had come under attack.

More bad news in that two more American soldiers were killed by an IED north of Kandahar.

It's time to face the fact that we can't do Afghanistan on the cheap. We need to set the timetable on Iraq and refocus our efforts on Afghanistan. We should have Marshall Planned it from the get go.

  • McSwain: When one reads your note about the Spanish Helo being taken down, it is clear that you revile and take delight in the idea that it was by enemy fire. Really, would not it be better for the people of Afganistan and the world for that matter if the country was stable and the Taliban were vanquished? Your desire to hammer the little dweeb Bush clouds your judgment as to what is best for the people of the planet. The same problem "W" has. Bearshaft
