Our strikes within Afganistan will probably see a few of those prized Stingers
scattered throughout various Afgan bases coming out of hiding. This is bad on many
levels. We are vulnerable on many fronts from such weapons used as terror weapons.
Bosnia comes to mind.
I trust our security abroad is stepped up.

"I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe ... Our
destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.
From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their
government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess
that I do apprehend some danger. ...Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837
