Meanwhile, attacks continue from across the Pakistan border. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is one of many voices asking for a "surge" in Afghanistan instead of Iraq. On a recent trip to that country, Pelosi spoke with the NATO commander in Afghanistan who said that we could very well lose the war there. Are we approaching a tipping point in the war in Afghanistan? Or is it possible that we have already passed it?
