#1 President Hamid Karzai's government follows through on its plans to impose on them hundreds of millions of dollars in back taxes.

#2 It is even worse than that. I learned late yesterday that Karzai is now consulting with Chinese and Iranian firms.

This actually could be fortuitious as would might be able to hand the entire Afghan effort off to the Chinese and Iranians. FOB Walton suffered a complex attack yesterday. Rockets, RPG's and small arms fire, following by an ambulance IED attempting to crash the gate. No US KIA.

#3 Didn't they just do the same things at an Afghan army base, killing several Afghans? Or am I confused?
