1. Where these new people coming into the country?
I heard one report say they were replacements - so they never even got to their assignment.

3. So it was under fire... Did the Pentagon initially give B.S. claim?
Now CNN is reporting it was receiving gun fire and the weather was bad at the same time....?

6. While we've spent billons on complex weapons systems
Other countries have focused their efforts on missile technology.

Just as the US helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union by outfitting the Taliban with shoulder-launched missiles and other portable weapons, are we now seeing the reverse?
