The Taliban's Shadowy Partners

War On Terror: The
anti-war crowd says the small number of enemy fighters inside
Afghanistan doesn't justify sending 30,000 fresh troops there. They
fail to understand the larger problem.
Sen. Barbara Boxer complains al-Qaida is scarcely in Afghanistan.
She cites an intelligence report leaked to ABC News that only 100
fighters are actually present inside the country, along with several
thousand Taliban fighters.
"I do not support adding more troops," the California Democrat
argued, "because there are now 200,000 American, NATO and Afghan forces
fighting roughly 20,000 Taliban and less than 100 al-Qaida."
In other words, why are we even over there?
What Boxer and other war critics fail to understand is there's
almost an endless supply of enemy fighters streaming across the border
from neighboring Pakistan, where they're actually based.
