#1 The number of hardcore Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters still resisting US-led forces in Afghanistan has dwindled to under 1,000, Nato?s military commander says, indicating the insurgency is "running out of energy".

But . . . but . . . but . . . it's a quagmire, isn't it? It's supposed to be a quagmire! The Angry Left told me it was. Chomsky wouldn't lie, would he? How can John Kerry get elected if it's not a quagmire?

#2 But...but...I've been told for the last month that we're failing because the Taliban has regrouped and is stronger than ever. Ted Koppel said so. The Soviets were forced to withdraw in shame just like we will. QUAGMIRE QUAGMIRE BUSH LIED HALIBURTON.

#3 The media have regrouped and are ready for a spring offensive which they hope will result in a John Quagmire Kerry by November.

#4 Hey, if I was a mullah-kateer, getting my ass KICKED for a couple of years, I'd cross a border that the ass-kickers couldn't, in a second.

Besides. There's fresh hunting in Iraq...
