#1 I like it better when "experts" are "baffled"...

#2 "Due to the violence of the military operations, we are losing the battle for hearts and minds in the Pashtun countryside, with a direct effect on the sustainability of the war."

There it is again, the infamous "We."

"These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act, and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate."
George W. Bush, Statement To Joint Session Of Congress September 20th 2001


A little reminder for the 'experts' re the historical context of the Afghanistan war.

#4 Why not just tnank them for 9-11? Everything is leading to re-talibanization. Wonder why?

#7 Bill Clinton willing to go to Afghanistan?

Oooooh ouch, g(r)omgoru. Think how even more fun could be had by all, were they to send the vice president instead (that's Joe Biden, in case you forgot, distracted by more important things, like butterflies). ;-)

Any time experts say "must", we know what isn't going to happen, anyway.

#8 "23 researchers, journalists and NGO chiefs"

And we should take anything you worthless clowns say, why exactly?

It's not like any of you have actually accomplished anything worthwhile.
