Why would Israelis Celebrate while Americans were dying?

While Americans were "supposedly" being killed by "evil" Arabs, a Mossad surveillance team made quite a spectacle of themselves: The New York Times reported that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers PRIOR to the attack, and were seen congratulating each other afterwards! Police received several calls from angry New Jersey residents, claiming "middle-eastern" men with a white van were videotaping the disaster with shouts of joy and mockery. Other witnesses saw Israelis jumping for joy in Liberty State Park after the initial impact. It looked as though they knew what was going to happen long before Americans died in the Twin Towers, and the nearby smaller structure. The police and FBI field agents found maps of the city and the same type of box cutters which the same type of box cutters that the hijackers supposedly used, $4700 in cash stuffed into a sock, and foreign passports: With Israelis as "friends", we don't need enemies.

General Petraeus admits that our war in Afghanistan will take years

In a recent Meet the Press interview, General Petraeus admitted that our war in Afghanistan will take years and cost high American casualties. The people of our United States are now evenly divided between those who think we can restore a modicum of stability before getting out, and those who want a rapid exit from that conflict.
Our best option is to keep civilian casualties low, while cautiously inserting our troops ever deeper into Pashtun territory.
