If anecdotal evidence is right
and Talib forces have been pushed out of Kandahar?
10,000 troops to Afghanistan would excellerate the collapse of the politically armed forces of the Taliban.
What more can one ask from the young people in the US Army?
This is time to up the tempo even more.
End this thing.
