Not enough troops on ground? That's because the CIA is spending all that money on Xe and Predator drones instead of Feet on the Street!.

There are more military contractors than troops in Afghanistan!? Nuts!

American soldiers fired mortar rounds on Saturday at Taliban forces from their position over a village in Nuristan Province. (Oleg Popov/Reuters) The commanders emphasized problems in southern Afghanistan, where Taliban insurgents continue to bombard towns and villages with rockets despite a new influx of American troops, and in eastern Afghanistan, where the father-and-son-led Haqqani network of militants has become the main source of attacks against American troops and their Afghan allies.
