did before going into Afghanistan... If war must be then we must
depend on strategy more than numbers and weapons. This lesson should
have been learned by the mistakes made in Afghanistan by our
Politicians and Generals... If these lessons have not been learned
then America truly should be afraid because our nation is led by
insane individuals."

"The US began the war with a "frighteningly simplistic" view of
Afghanistan, the retired general Stanley McChrystal said, and even now
the military lacks sufficient local knowledge to bring the conflict to
an end."

US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta believes there is a "strong
possibility" that Israel will strike Iran's nuclear installations this
spring, the Washington Post said Thursday in an editorial.
When asked about the opinion piece by reporters travelling with him to
a NATO meeting in Brussels, Panetta brushed it aside.
"I'm not going to comment on that. David Ignatius can write what he
will but with regards with what I think and what I view, I consider
that to be an area that belongs to me and nobody else," he said.
"Israel indicated they're considering this (a strike), we've indicated
our concerns," he added.
The Post columnist said Panetta "believes there is a strong likelihood
that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June before Iran enters
what Israelis described as a 'zone of immunity' to commence building a
nuclear bomb."
President Barack Obama and Panetta are "said to have cautioned the
Israelis that the United States opposes an attack, believing that it
would derail an increasingly successful international economic
sanctions program and other non-military efforts to stop Iran from
crossing the threshold," he said.
