Hal Bernton, McClatchy Newspapers: "The men of Bravo Company have a bitter description for the irrigated swath of land along the Arghandab River where 10 members of their battalion have been killed and 30 have been wounded since the beginning of August. 'Like Vietnam without the napalm,' said Spc. Nicholas Gojekian, 21, of Katy, Texas."

Carolyn Eisenberg, Truthout: "With General McChrystal requesting up to 45,000 more troops for the floundering military effort in Afghanistan, Democratic members of Congress are understandably agitated. Almost everyday, some new senator or representative goes before the television cameras to express grave concern about the apparent 'quagmire' that is emerging there. While such sentiments are to be welcomed, they are no substitute for effective action."
