#1 You know we're slipping when we can't even kill innocent bystanders right.

#3 reports this AM that a spec ops guy was killed in Paktika. Presumably related to the above.

Seems like we're using Afghans in Oruzgan, our own troops together with Afghans in Paktika. Seem to be successful in Oruzgan. Also captured weapons cache in Khost. But Paktika seems to be where the toughest concentration of Taliban is operating.
