Even our own military officials are concerned about the lack of political progress in Iraq, and the resurgence of the Taliban in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. I'm sure you've seen or heard those concerns being expressed by our military officials in the news lately, haven't you? I'm sure you'll demand links to back up those facts but I've been working all night and I'm tired so I'll let someone else take care of that if they desire to do so. I really don't feel the need to provide proof of the obvious to you.
