As of today, there are more US troops in Afghanistan Than Iraq as reported today in the NY Times At War blog. I am glad to hear it. The war is over in Iraq--unless the civil war starts and if it does, it is not our war.
Really good news. The American troops who have to be in the Middle East are moving to where they can do the most good in fighting terrorists.
