By the way, Afghanistan is regressing, as U.S. Rep. Chris Van Hollen observed in a Washington Post op-ed article.
"Last year attacks by the Taliban and other anti-government groups jumped 20 percent," wrote the Maryland Democrat. "Suicide bombings increased fourfold, and strikes with improvised explosive devices, a tactic imported from Iraq, doubled."
Mistakes made early in the war turned Iraq into a nannystate. Bushvolk were in such a rush to topple Saddam Hussein and frame him for the Sept. 11 attacks that they neglected Afghanistan and allowed the Taliban to regroup. Mission: Accomplished!
"Where's Osama? When's it gonna be over?", by Rhonda Chriss Lokman, Belleville News Democrat
She also points out just how shocked the "Bushvolk" are that we have created an Afghanistan "Democratic" government where "you can still be executed for converting from Islam to Christianity."
Yap, mission accomplished in Afghanistan!
Oh, and just where is Osama? - long silence
The answer is we're too busy in Iraq and Afghanistan was never really a Bushvolk target. The real target was Emperor Bush's ego-building. Wonder if his Whitehouse portrait is going to show him standing in a military uniform with his hand stuck in the shirt front.

And the Taliban is reformed and preparing for a Spring offensive. Afganistan was the one, actual triumph in the War on Terror. If we lose them to Iraq-neglect, the past six years will have been a complete failure.
