giving O a plus

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Hard to follow a lot what is going on in Afgan/Paskistan--as not near as much reporting on wars as in past.

A point of interest thats looks promising is Pakistans recent surge against the Taliban who was close to taking things over in the south.

Bout 2 weeks ago admin had "heart to heart" dialogue with Pakistan and evidently it was quite successful so far--so I applaud recent efforts.

I will have to admit this admin does have some advantages over last--

We can have equivilant of Gitmo in afgan (Bagram Air Force Base) without hearing a peep out of liberals or media.

The liberals and media are no longer harping on civilian deaths that occur when terrorist use them as shield--

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/may/06/us-air-strikes-afghan-civilians
US-led air strikes have killed dozens of Afghan people, the Red Cross said today as the Pentagon launched a joint investigation into what appeared one of the deadliest incidents and heaviest civilian losses so far at the hands of coalition forces.
Rohul Amin, the governor of Farah province in west Afghanistan, where the bombing took place during a battle on Monday and Tuesday, said he feared 100 civilians had been killed.

---so if objectivity depends who is in office--so be it--as long as we get job done

You show some prgress here, but I don't recall much objection from our media regarding anything we did in Afghanistan while Bush was there. It's an entirely different beast from Iraq that has always had near complete support at home.

I'll give him his due if I think he deserves it Smurph--Things were beginning to look very grim in probabaly the most dangerous sitation in the world-- things have turned around and pakisan has done an about face--While there is no proof that this admin was responsible--logic would tell me the change of heart directly following talks was not coincidence--so give o/admin thumbs up on effort.

On diff between iraq and afgan I disagree War is war--and casualties of war do not change because some was for or against war.
