4. Tet offensive

Expect more of these, though I think they learned not to burn themselves out on too large scale thrusts.

Someday they will even get the attrention of our three monkey media.

6. It's curious that all 7,000 US troops stayed safe

Not even any accidents since rummy told them to be more careful. :shrug:

*I'm certainly not complaining about that. It's just curious.

7. Very curious, indeed!

In fact, quite unbelievable.

Did the Americans leave Afghanistan while I wasn't looking?

How many Americans were INJURED?
I am totally sickened by the American press's inability to report the number of casualties -- including INJURIES -- on BOTH sides.

Every time we're given an opportunity, we need to question the press on this state of affairs.
