I was just wondering myself why we seem to have lost focus there. It just doesn't make any sense.

Not just that, but why aren't we leaning harder on Pakistan to allow us to expand the operations in the Tora Bora region?

Yeah, killing Zarqawi was good, but don't just stand there patting yourselves on the back.

So why is "stay the course" to standard response regarding Iraq, but not Afghanistan?

It's going good in Afghanistan for the herion traders, though.
