wow .. thanks ... almost eight years from the original invasion date of '79. My guess is it by then Gorbachov hinted to US and Ziad at a complete Soviet withdraw, though they always kept saying the samething sense 1980. That gesture combined with the realthreat forced pakistant to relax its aid. Funny, that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was carbon copy of the invasion of Albania. A max three week operation.

Have you read that entire (Afghanistan’s Untold Story) .. i think i will start reading it tonight.
