And now we learn that America is losing the fight in Afghanistan.

The next time someone says we're fighting them over there so we don't fight them over here, please explain that we WERE fighting al qaeda over in Afghanistan, and then Bush diverted the fight from al qaeda to Saddam. Our misadventure in Iraq to get Saddam has allowed al qaeda to hide and grow and get away with attacking u.s. armed forces.

Afghanistan fears Al-Qaida is returning in force

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - Al-Qaida and other militants have smuggled explosives, weapons and millions of dollars in cash into Afghanistan for a resurgent terror campaign, the country's defense minister warned Wednesday.

His comments came after an unprecedented spate of suicide assaults -- the latest on Wednesday when a bomber attacked a U.S. military convoy in the southern city of Kandahar, killing three civilians.

Intelligence indicates that a number of Arabs and other foreigners have entered Afghanistan to launch suicide attacks, Abdul Rahim Wardak told the Associated Press.
