...after the toll rose to 23 dead and 80 wounded, the IDF had learned their lesson. When it came to a ground offensive, big was better. No longer would they rely on small bands of commandos to flush Hizballah out of their trenches and underground hideouts.

Her sage advice to swimathon contestants: wear a wet suit...

U.S. forces - despite the mishap of letting bin Laden, al-Zawahiri and most of the organization's management escape - had managed to overthrow the Taliban and flush al-Qaeda from its refuge. The group was now dispersed. A few of its leaders and many foot soldiers were captured or dead. As with any organization, time passed and second-guessing began. (See what would happen to the accused 9/11 plotters...
