Herat, Afghanistan. Today is going to get edgy. And interesting. Today, I go out into the streets with the American 82nd Airborne and their colleagues, the Afghan Army. That's right. You heard me. Today, joint operations are taking place in the Herat Province here in northwest Afghanistan.
The purposes of these operations are to help the Afghan Army take the lead and "take back" their country. There has been a lot of talk about what President Karzai has and has not done. Well, without hesitation, what is needed most is an effective Afghan fighting force. Without that, everything is lost. This is true with 100,000 Americans or 1,000,000 Americans.
Joint operations of this type can usually go one of two ways. Things are very quiet or . . .
We will see.
