Haiti Shapes Up as a Long-Term Military Mission
From the endless lines of military Humvees, wrecker trucks, all-terrain vehicles, ambulances, flat-bed cargo trucks, generator trucks, fuel trucks, communications vans, and paratroopers waiting in a cold rain, it's clear that the U.S. military mission in Haiti is going to be a long one.

Afghanistan - How the Taliban Might Respond to McChrystal's New War Plan
The Taliban's response to the Afghan war strategy proposed by Gen. Stanley McChrystal could be shocking and grim, with insurgents redoubling suicide attacks and ambushes against American troops, aircraft and road convoys, triumphantly setting up "liberated zones,'' and executing Afghan police and collaborators in areas abandoned by U.S. and allied forces.
