Groundhog Day in Afghanistan
Here’s a December 13, 2001, CNN headline: “Fierce Fighting Resumes in Tora Bora, Advances Made Quickly Against al Qaeda”. Here’s an August 16, 2007, Reuters headline: “Afghan and U.S. forces assault al Qaeda in Tora Bora”.
What’s wrong with this picture?

Well, all I can say is: I’d soooo much rather have Bill Murray running this operation.
Hm. Why hasn’t there been a Bill Murray as President movie yet?
(Instead — intersplicing movies here — what we’ve got is a President who’s tied the nation to a mast. And the humor in it escapes me.)
