Outrage of the day

The presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama claimed today that Bush administration policy in Afghanistan consisted "solely of air raids and bombing of civilians." Details here. It's such a moronic, and obviously false, statement that it's hardly worth spending time on. Suffice it to say that, for one thing, U.S. troops in Afghanistan are made up of some 3,000 air force personnel...and over 17,000 army personnel. Yes, ground troops.

Sure, but all we do there is bomb...
