  this is a very subjective analysis hardly any objective evidence if he was even there in tora bora -looks like a totally misconceived misadventure with personal speculations about what was happenning
  rather a mishap asv the entire afghan -pak-iraq operation has been with trillions wasted to create a bankrupt economy -

  You don't have to convince someone to go to war if they've already swore and signed the dotted line. More troops may or may not work, however, we're not really doing anything to speed up the processes of bringing this part of history to an end.

  Do not understand why Army Rangers, or other QRF's from XVIII Airborne Corps were not rushed to the battlefield. Some units are supposed to be in the air within 18 hours. Why weren't they used? Operation Anaconda did not achieve its objectives, LZ's were hot with AQ/T-ban, they had the high ground, our intel was bad. There is a need for light, small UAV's at platoon and even sqaud level. It would be nice to know wats on the other side of the ridge, and it would help prevent ambush. Thank God for the Carl Gustav, also known as RAAWS, it was critical in taking out bunkers and killing hadji's in caves. The DoD should concentrate on this war, not on one that may never happen. Some parts of the FCS are good for today, the rest should be put on the back burner. We will be fighting these kinds of battles for the next 10 yrs.
