NOW on PBS | "Targeting the Taliban" | Preview | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/now President Obama is sending as many as 30,000 more troops to combat Taliban and al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan this year, but are we missing the true target? NOW reports directly from Pakistan's dangerous and pivotal border with Afghanistan, where Pentagon war planners acknowledge many of the enemy fighters and their leaders are based. The U.S. has been relying on Pakistan to act against Taliban militants there, but the Pakistani army's commitment is in question. NOW takes you to the true front lines for an eye-opening, inside look you haven't seen before, and won't soon forget. www.pbs.org/now

This is why PBS is the only station I watch...especially NOW and Frontline. It's the only station left in America that still report real stories in real time...thank you so much!

TRINCULO By this good light, this is a very shallow monster! I afeard of him! A very weak monster! The man i' the moon! A most poor credulous monster! Well drawn, monster, in good sooth!

CALIBAN I'll show thee every fertile inch o' th' island; And I will kiss thy foot: I prithee, be my god.

why do journalists wear bright colored outfit in the middle of a combat formation? it's like telling the enemy artillery spotter, "you can't see my friends but here i am: hit me and you wipe us all!"

Good Luck from the USA, Pakistan. Here's hoping the Taliban get it where it hurts!
