The arrogance of Americans is amazing (coming from an American). Troops from many nations have substantial forces committed to Afghanistan including Norway and Canada (three of thier soldiers were killed up US pilots).

OSLO, Norway -- A Norwegian fighter jet supporting coalition forces in Afghanistan bombed a hostile target for the first time since World War II during a raid on rebel forces, the military said Tuesday.

Norway has an Army? What next? The canadian tank gonna roll into Tora Bora?


The Canadians better hurry up, the ice is melting, and I don't think their ship can carry that tank.

I think Sweden should join the fighting. All they need to do is airdrop the Swedish Bikini Team over Afghanistan and all them Taliban will drop their weapons thinking they've just died and gone to heaven with all those virgins. Once they drop their weapons, Special Forces will take 'em out before the Bikini Team even hits the ground!

It's rarely funny, it was four Canadians killed by our pilot and what Americans ought to do in this case is either say, "Good job", "Thank you" or learn how to keep their mouth closed.

Arrogance? Try arrogance of the left wing & the media.. In trying to convince the world that America is acting on it's own just for oil and etc. CRAP... They IGNORE the fact that other countries are sending their best to help remove terrorism and soon, the evil dictator Saddam. Unless of course a bomb goes off in the wrong place, and they can BLAME America again!!! muhahaha.. get it?

This has nothing to do with the left wing and the media. Most people who criticize other countries for not having powerful militaries and being reluctant to use them are generally right wing. And the acrgumentrs about oil etc. are not in regards to Afghanistan, we had the full support of just about all the world for the actions in Afghanistan, even the freaking Saudis, Libyans, Iranians, etc. were for it. Iraq is a different matter.

Right, because you can only show backbone when you're dropping bombs? Dumb.

There isn't a real criticizm of any military power in this whole thread, just some wiseguys making cracks.

What I find interesting about this, is not that Norway is involved(anyone who doesn't know that many nations are in Afghanistan needs to take their head out of the sand), it is the term "Rebel forces". Doesn't say Taliban or Al Queda, but Rebel. Makes me wonder if Afghanistan is just going to be in a state of constant civil war and how long foreign forces will stick it out if the fighting carries on indefinitely.

I already posted that. One of us actually spelled it right.


sandorski--
Personally I think a better question is when are we gonna stop playing footsies with Pakistan. We've given them a ton of money and we should be demanding a little more ROI.
