#1 Let us hope our new Alikozai friends have read nothing of the US Hmong legacy.

#2 the Kajaki dam, the biggest source of electricity for southern Afghanistan.

Sounds like a Target to me.

#3 Jim, that's the same dam which we and the British fought a mid-size "march up-country" campaign to get the construction equipment and power turbine convoys through Indian Country in the fall of 2008.

Fuck no, it isn't a "target", not unless we find ourselves in a 1842 situation and it's Sampson Option season.
