US Has No Comment On Rahim Wardak's Shopping List
By ANN Senior Correspondent Kevin "Hognose" O'Brien
Afghanistan once had a powerful air force with fighter planes,
attack helicopters and transport machines. Indeed, I saw evidence
of it everywhere I went in that country: hangars shredded by AC-130
fire, fighters left derelict, jet pilots working as privates in the
Army. Between the civil war, the end of Russian aid (all military
types were of Soviet origin), and the Coalition blitzkrieg of 2001,
nothing was left but souvenirs.
