John D. Stufflebeem.He said the Pentagon has obtained information of such a possible plot and chose “to release that information now before it becomes a fact.” Speaking at a Pentagon news conference, Stufflebeem gave no details on the kind of information he was referring to.The United States has dropped more than 700,000 packets of food meant for the hungry and displaced population since it launched its bombing campaign over Afghanistan Oct. 7. Other relief organizations also are distributing food in the country and the Taliban militia that controls most of the country has confiscated some of those foodstuffs.“If the food comes from America it will not be tainted,” Stufflebeem said he wanted to tell people. “But if it comes from Taliban control, they must be careful.”He also said troops Wednesday retrieved the Black Hawk helicopter that crashed Friday in Pakistan while supporting a covert raid into Afghanistan. A recovery crew had tried to retrieve it Saturday but aborted the mission when it came under small-arms fire from unknown gunmen.Stufflebeem also called the Taliban and al-Qaida network fighters “tough warriors” and said he has been “surprised at how doggedly they’re hanging on to power.”He repeated Bush administration cautions that “this is going to be a long, long campaign” against terrorism.Earlier Wednesday, President Bush told employees of a Maryland business that America was winning the war on both fronts — in Afghanistan and in the efforts to protect America’s shores.“We’re patient. We ’re firm. We have got a strategy that is going to work. And make no mistake about it, justice will be done,” the president said. ------------------------ Yahoo!
