The Sound of the Crowd

Another one bites the dust

Conservative columnist Robert Novak says the U.S. is lost in Afghanistan.

“The new unit assigned to Afghanistan is the 25th Infantry Division, which has been stationed at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, and has not seen combat since the Vietnam War…More important than this conventional infantry division are two commando units known as Black SOF (Special Operations Forces) and White SOF. Black SOF, by far the more numerous of the two, is assigned to capture Osama bin Laden…The problem is that nobody I have talked to in the military thinks his capture is likely or may even be possible. The American fighting men think ‘‘UBL’’ (as he is called) is hiding in Pakistan, impossible to find. Most exasperating to the men in the field is the manpower and effort expended on what they consider to be a helpless cause.”

And another one down

And another one’s gone

Another one bites the dust!
