King, since you're in that foreign land to our North, you may not be listening to the politicians from your neighbor to the South. (And can't say as I blame you, given how many there are in the presidential sweepstakes at present.) However, the Dems--who are big on pulling out of Iraq--seem to be (pretty unanimously) equally big on prosecuting what they define as the REAL war on terror, and shifting some of those withdrawn troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.

Too bad they managed to kill Ahmed Shah Mahsood right before 9/11. We could've simply turned Afghanistan over to him, with a few CIA/specops teams and air support on call.
