Phil Reeves is as hardly known for his objective views Kev. Shit, about ninety percent of everything I've read by him is a critique on either Israel or the US, and often, he seems to be confused on where one ends and the other begins.

He doesn't even bother giving a full quote to Lt-Gen Dan McNeill, rather splicing up his words into brief soundbites that conveniently fit his topic.

If you're trying to draw the point that Bush is moving too fast, well, anyone will grant you that. He's doing for a few reasons, not the least of which is the fact he'll begin campaigning in a few months.

As for Afghanistan, if the United States went in there with a military presence, created a viable governmental infrastructure, how much support would she recieve from the rest of the world? We both realize Bush would be heavily criticized for imperialistically building a puppet kingdom, much as the British did when colonizing Africa. There isn't an easy answer, but the fact that many of the countries that promised support for rebuilding the post-war nation has yet to appear has not helped matters
