Ничего

The morning began with stepping in a nice small pile of cat barf. There were two piles, both places so close to the door of my bedroom as to guarantee that I would step in one of them. I fed the cats, went to the bathroom and saw that my hair was in a state that could have scared the fingernails off of Freddy Kruger.

So...
Otherwise, I would be commenting extensively on this:

“There is no piece of land in Afghanistan that has not been occupied by one of our soldiers at some time or another. Nevertheless much of the territory stays in the hands of the terrorists. We control the provincial centers, but we cannot maintain political control over the territory we seize.

“Our soldiers are not to blame. They’ve fought incredibly bravely in adverse conditions. But to occupy towns and villages temporarily has little value in such a vast land where the insurgents can just disappear into the hills.” ...

“Without [more equipment], without a lot more men, this war will continue for a very, very long time” -- Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev, Chief of the Soviet General Staff, November 13, 1986.

If one reads up a little on the Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan, one can find comments about generals who, before the war started, advised caution, given the experiences of the British and Russian armies in Central Asia in the 1800s. They were told to shut up and do their jobs. One can imagine that similar conversations took place in Ft. Fumble in 2001.

And so, here we are.
