1. Where these new people coming into the country? |
|
I heard one report say they were replacements - so they never even got to their assignment.

3. So it was under fire... Did the Pentagon initially give B.S. claim? |
|
Now CNN is reporting it was receiving gun fire and the weather was bad at the same time....?

6. While we've spent billons on complex weapons systems |
|
Other countries have focused their efforts on missile technology.
Just as the US helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union by outfitting the Taliban with shoulder-launched missiles and other portable weapons, are we now seeing the reverse?
