Heard on the news tonight that the "interim Afghan government" was demanding an end to the bombing in 3 days, and that all troops leave in 6 months.

Can you show a reference to this? Everything I read today said tribal leaders from the Paktia province were wanting the bombing to stop... I read nothing about the interim government stating it...
I noticed that the people complaining about the bombing wore black turbans and long beards. There are a lot of folk in Afghanistan who are apt to call in airstrikes whenever they see a bunch of people with black turbans and long beards. --digsig James A.
