Bruce: I agree it was correct, but I think the White House should have listened to the Pentagon's assessment of what was needed in men and materiel, instead of Rumsfeld's plan to use a minimal force (and Afghan war lords) to chase the scumbags across the border into Pakistan. I'm convinced that was a huge mistake that has cost us dearly, and will for years to come.

At this point I am not sure how we can recover from it in a military sense. And I see that the Paki's are taking a turn away from the issue as things with India heat up. In fact, the radical elements in their government may have been attempting to provoke this crisis between their countries in an effor to take some of the heat off the Western front. Who knows?
