"Astonishing"? I would define astonishing as: 1.) Taliban defeated/UBL captured 2.) Country clear of terrorists 3.) Gov't democratic, stable, and self-supporting 4.) Drug production near zero. 5.) Country and borders secure. 6.) No US security/military help needed. As it is, I think the best you could say was mildly successful with "success" defined a secure occupation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get Instant Hacker Protection, Virus Detection, Antispam & Personal Firewall. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=62 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:171188 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
