Afghanistan, the forgotten front

Just watching an interview with Michael Scheluer, former head of the the CIA Bin Laden unit. He said that al Qaeda has been rebuilding these past five years. Money quote:
"The idea that we are going to try to do with 40,000 troops in Afghanistan what the Soviets couldn't do with 150,000 troops is a bit of madness."

Carson City Debate
Hey Kirk,
glad to find your site- an intelligent person paying attention to politics in Nevada- finally!
Are you near Carson City? Is there any chance you are going to the debate tomorrow? If you're not a union member you can't get in, but you can join a Q&A session with Biden at 9am and/or Kucinich at 3pm at Comma Coffee.
The reason I ask is because I'm on a mission to get a politician on film regarding WTC 7? I hope you've already heard of it. If not, ask yourself why didn't the media play this tower's collapse over and over like they did the other two- why did the 9/11 Commission refuse to include any mention of it in the official report?
Anyway, as you might be able to tell from my url, I'm not from anywhere near Carson City... so I'm hoping to live vicariously through someone like you (- ; I'd like to start confronting politicians- with direct questions and video cam in hand. So if there's a chance in hell that you have a video camera and would like to do a small action towards restoring our democracy and world peace, I beg of you to consider going to one of the Q&A sessions and asking Biden/Kucinich something like, "Have you heard of the controversy surrounding WTC 7? Why do you think it fell?" No matter their response, I think it'd be a huge hit on youtube... and it'd be one down, 534 to go :-D
peace and freedom to ya!

ps- captcha tip - if you'd like that math question to appear down near the preview button, rather than up at the top, open up the captcha.module, and ctrl-f (search) for weight - should be near the bottom, just change it from 0 to 1 (-;
