- Please don't sensor my posting regarding Lara Logan. People should know her background and the real motives behind incorrect and delibrately bias reporting which is putting the lives of so many innocent people in danger.

- Referring to the "INSIDER ATTACKS," according to Laura Logan, "Last Month These Attacks were the Leading Killer of American Troops."
This might not entirely accurate.
I believe I heard in the media, that Suicide was the Leading Killer of American Troops, last month (or was it the month before?) - Reply to this comment
- Depart. Return Home and Tend to our Business. Let them live and let live as they pleasee. Let them go through the natural cycle of "survival of the fittest."
We can't impose our preference of style of living on other nations.
We need to realize that we can't establish a government that will allow us to take control of their nation's resources. God didn't intend it to be. That is why they are Over-there and we live Over-here.

- We started losing Afghanistan a little over 3 years ago when we started putting the stupid ROEs in place that are there now. The enemy knows our boys hands are tied, and they take advantage of that fact every day to kill them. Cmon Allen - stand up and state the real truths! We spend more time prosecuting our own boys if they screw up some administrative ROE than we do hunting down the bad guys. We spend more time threatening our boys with NJPs if they cuss certain words in front of a girl, even under fire, than we do hunting down the bad guy. We can have a known bad guy right in our sights, and not be allowed to shoot them if they put their rifle down on the ground, etc. The second the generals stood back and turned our warriors into pansies, and let this current administration try to turn them into nation builders (aka vietnam) - we lost this.

- The real question she should have asked Gen. Allen, if he had all the troops he wanted for as long as he wanted and could use them however he wanted, when we finally left what would the country look like two years later? Anybody want to venture what an honest answer would be?

- Its really a no brainer. Our strategy is to train afghan troops to be able to handle things on their own, that we we can leave. The Taliban's strategy is to defeat our strategy, and this is the easiest most logical way.

- I just watched this segment and I have to say that I'm astonished at Lara Logan Among the range of possible questions for these two important persons -- Allen and Karzai -- she asks them if they're angry! Allen started the interview by saying he was mad as hell. And instead of asking Karzai if he was mad, couldn't she have made better use of the interview time by probing what he meant by "politics" when he answered her question about why America had not done more to call out Pakistan. This is quality reporting? I'm glad I walked away knowing both of these guys are angry and almost nothing about the background political situation that seems to be fueling the whole mess.
