re: #141 Bagua

Front burner or rear burner, the Afghan excursion has just chugged along at a low level.

That’s perhaps inevitable. Iraq commanded more attention because Iraq is a more important country. Its only Afghanistan’s potential as a terrorist hideout that causes us to take a major interest in it, Iraq has something we really need: oil. That’s not a “no blood for oil” line of bs, just honest analysis.
