The clandestine U.S. commandos whose job is to capture or kill Osama bin Laden have not received a credible lead in more than two years. Nothing from the vast U.S. intelligence world -- no tips from informants, no snippets from electronic intercepts, no points on any satellite image -- has led them anywhere near the al-Qaeda leader, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials...the trail...has gone "stone cold."

Reports are also that the number of deaths in Iraq is horrificallly high - but when the military counts deaths, they only count those who were shot or executed - they are not counting death from carbomb, or other explosives. That might explain why Bush&Co was bragging that deaths are rapidly decreasing - "only 550 in August" when the director of the morgue in Baghdad, said there were more than 1500! That "correction" was in the small print on page 17 of the papers. Reports are more and more frequent that Afghanistan is slipping into the rule of warlords and Taliban.

That’s to extreme – how about America just retract it’s fangs and be a nice player on the global stage. Things like talk and not bombs would be a good first step.

I may be labeled a “appeaser”- but talk is cheaper than bombs and in the end is much more effective.
