Destroying Al Qaeda Infrastructure
The hard work of taking down al Qaeda has not been distracted by the war in Iraq. Sen. Graham's assertions to the contrary are wrong says Army officer Benjamin Collins who is deployed in Afghanistan.
"This has absolutely nothing to do with the war in Iraq ... it is the natural evolvement of a fight against a terrorist network, and furthermore, it is representative of the character of our nation that our soldiers work tirelessly in order to reduce the amount of collateral damage in finding such an enemy, and this takes time.
"I invite Mr. Graham to come to Afghanistan and visit the soldiers who sift through mountains of intelligence and to listen to the Special Forces teams who spend months building rapport with the local communities in the hope of garnering information that may lead to identifying terrorists and reducing their ability to find a safe haven. At the very least, he would leave with a greater understanding of the time and commitment it will take in truly defeating organizations such as al Qaeda."
