Officials - Fight Against Terror Has Not Stalled: The war against terrorism has not stalled in Afghanistan, U.S. military officials said Tuesday at a news conference in Tashkent, Uzbekistan’s capital. "We want to conduct this operation on our timeline, and I think we’re on that timeline," said Army Gen. Tommy Franks, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in 25 nations, including Afghanistan. "In my view, it is not at all a stalemate," Franks said. "My boss, the secretary of defense, and the president have not indicated to me any frustration with the pace" of operations. Franks and other U.S. officials are on a multinational tour to meet with troops and political leaders of nations his command covers.
