News Alert: Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda become afterthought in Afghan war

09:01 PM EDT Sunday, August 22, 2010 ——————–

Although U.S. officials have often said that al-Qaeda is a marginal player on the Afghan battlefield, an analysis of 76,000 classified U.S. military reports posted by the Web site WikiLeaks underscores the extent to which Osama bin Laden and his network have become invisible figures in the war. For more information, visit washingtonpost.com: http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/BZYGW4/YHHZ38/ZGRVJ7/KGS1DR/ENB2Y/OS/t

George took his eye off but at least we knew who he was after, Saddam Hussein.

Barack brought us back to Afghanistan but his eye is on Karzai (his friend), not the enemy that this all started for.

News Alert: New Yorkers react to Muslim center debate

09:23 PM EDT Thursday, August 19, 2010

——————–

The national debate over the center near Ground Zero bears little resemblance to the reality on the ground in New York, where the local political establishment, from opponent Rep. Peter King (R) to supporter Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D), all agree that it would be better if the national, non-New York critics knew what was happening, both politically and spatially.
