...what of those Crimson from California, Europe and beyond? Even with the three-hour rollback going west, it’s hardly possible to make it door in door in under eight hours—unless you live right next to an airport and, by some anomaly, your flight leaves Logan on time...
...sudden rollback of the Taliban vindicated the Pentagon's faith in air power. Just weeks ago, with the rebels bogged down in the north and Taliban forces cockily daring the U.S. to try to hit them, American strategists warned of a lengthy war and said a large percentage of Taliban targets were yet to be bombed.

Most economists credit that deal with helping launch the next seven years of economic growth, but Bush partisans see it differently.
