...Pershing was never able to capture the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa in the arroyos and badlands of Sonora after he laid waste Columbus, New Mexico in 1916. (Prosaically, Villa was killed years later not by the U.S. Army but by a man he had cuckolded.) Precisely two years ago, Osama bin Laden slipped away from the mountain ridges of Tora Bora into the cave-riddled, forested valleys of the Hindu Kush, and allied forces have not laid a glove on him since...
...insurgency has not only imperiled reconstruction efforts; it has challenged the credibility of the occupation force. The likes of Osama bin Laden have always argued that if bloodied once or twice, the U.S. will retreat. Iraqi insurgents are now testing that theory, compelling the U.S. to hit back hard. In response to the insurgents Ramadaan offensive, U.S. forces have retaliated with everything from massive sweeps to air raids, artillery strikes and sieges.

I questioned his epistemology, at which point he called me a "stupid liberal kike," which caused the switchboard guy to hang...
...Mohammed, now 21, who says he landed at Gitmo after he was kidnapped by an Uzbek commander and sold to the Americans for a bounty being offered for al-Qaeda fighters. He was released last July, after his interrogators concluded that he not only had had no contact with Osama bin Laden's group but also hadn't even known 9/11 had happened until they showed him pictures. "I'd like to visit America someday," he says. "Some of the wardens and soldiers became my friends...
...liberal, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy ’54-’56 are liberals. I don’t think any of them would want to be associated with anyone who put Bush in the same league as Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden. Zinn might be a leftist or a radical, but his views are fundamentally different from those of mainstream opponents of the war or the subsequent occupation. I supported the war and I consider myself a moderate, but I think you do liberals a disservice by lumping them together with Howard...
