Nice op-ed.

One question I don't see getting asked enough is the logical response
to CBS statement that Burkett did not contact them, they contacted
Burkett.

The question is why? Who directed CBS to Burkett?

Meanwhile in Afghanistan:

"Even though NATO has taken over the peacekeeping mission in
Afghanistan, it has not been able to meet troop levels promised by its
members. As a result, about 80% of the country has no international
protection. The NATO Secretary-General, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, has
warned that without greater resolve from its members, the alliance
risks failing in its first mission outside of Europe."

Croatie, Danemark, Espagne, Estonie, Etats-Unis, Finlande, France,

Lithuanie, Luxembourg, Macédoine, Norvège, Nouvelle-Zélande, Pays-Bas,
Pologne, Portugal, République Tchèque, Roumanie, Slovaquie, Slovénie

and we are now at about 18,000 and rising. Is your country's effort and
capability really only 3% of the U.S.?

I stand behind my pathetic statement.

Oh, you know that you are pathetic ? It's a good begining. ;-)
