#1 MSM forgets essential facts dept:

"In comparison to the country's south and east, northern Afghanistan is relatively quiet. But roadside and other insurgent attacks have been increasing in the last few years. "

The north has been quiet because the north is mainly not Pashtun, and the Taliban are a Pashtun organization. Kunduz is the one mainly Pashtun province in northern afghanistan. This was discussed at great length in october/November/decemeber of 2001.

Some folks either dont remember, or were not paying attention.

#2 You forgot one other factor, LH - some people just plain don't care. All they want to do is to force the US to leave the job unfinished, so they can claim credit for forcing them to leave. Most WESTERN reporters are extremely liberal and will do/say/infer anything that's negative to the image of the United States.
