That's the ratio of Taliban fighters to US troops in Afganistan. The 12 are the US troops by the way. They got all that armor too and airplanes but still aren't winning. By the way, what ever happened to Osama bin Laden, you remember, the guy we went there to get? The same guy Bush later said was unimportant, yeah, that's the guy. Oh, he's not there anymore you say? Then why are we still there? Why can't politicians ever admit they made a mistake and just get out? I am American as apple pie but I don't see the sense in being "over there". We have problems enough at home and I think the money should be spent "over here". The money used to fight the 2 wars Bush started could pay for health care for every American the rest of our lives.
