#1 I'm not going to question their polling methodology, except to point out that the increase probably reflects that increased coalition activity makes reasonably secure areas more secure. I doubt their sample is representative of Taliban controlled areas.

#2 Yep. There was also a sudden increase in ground combat in France after June 6, 1944 after a rather extensive lull from May 1940.

#5 And why should the US prevail = win in AFPAK?

To wit, among Other:

E.G. PRAVDA this fine Guam AM > WOULD-BE ASIAN SUPERPOWERS PREPARE TO CLASH WHEN THE USA WEAKENS.

and

IIRC RENSE > NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC OP-ED > GULF OIL GUSH COULD LAST FOR YEARS.

Read, POLITICIAN-ON-POLITICIAN LACK OF CONSENSUS + PRO-US-VS-ANTI-US DESIRED OWG-NWO, ETC. = YEARS/DECADES-LONG ENVIRO DISASTER = NO GULF OF MAHICO US-GLOBAL OIL REVENUE = NO $$$ = US-GLOBAL RECESSION_DEPRESSION SEEMINGLY GOES ON INDEFINITELY = MORE "JUSTIFIED" US-GLOBAL SOCILAISM-GOVTISM + ANTI-DEMOCRACY.

TRUE TEST OF "GLOBALISM" = OWG-NWO > NOT merely diverting some of the GUlf Oil underwater outflows, BUT DE FACTO STOPPING IT + RESUM NORMAL PRODUCTION.

1960's-70's GUAM TAOTAMONAS > THERE IS MUCH MORE AT STAKE FOR THE US-WORLD WID THE 2010 GoM OIL SPILL THAN AN OIL RIG MAJOR FIRE + UW PIPE BREAK.

D *** NG IT, MORIARITY, WE MISSED MADONNA'S "HEY YOU" SONG AT THE PENTAGON THAT DECADE, DIDN'T WE!
