Death in Afghanistan

More deaths will come, this war will take a long time, lets hope Pakistan calms down, we don't need unrest over the border feeding in to the military problem in Afghanistan. In Total British losses stand at 84, the deaths combine accidents and those that have died in combat.

Democrats and Bad Politics

CNN: Reports that the Democrats in the Senate will try again to get troops out of Iraq, and if the Bush White House wont go along with their scheme the Troops wont get their money till April. One major point to the plonker who thought this up, do you really want a issue of National Security to be played out during a Presidential Election. The one thing bar Hillary Clinton getting the nomination that could help the Republicans is the perceived weakness of Democrats on national security. VERY BAD POLITICS.
