The bigger issue is, why are we still in Afghanistan.
We've been there for 11 years now.
We went in to get Al Qaeda. But Al Qaeda has decamped Afghanistan (where they never liked it to start with) for Yemen, Libya and Iraq. The ones we didn't kill, that is. Bin Laden is dead. So are most of the other key leaders. Dead or at Gitmo.
We say we are there to promote "Democracy" but that became hollow when Karzai stole the 2009 election.
We need to pull up stakes, immediately, and let the Taliban and Karzai work it out.

We are still in Afghanistan because Obama wants to be there. He made it clear before he was elected that we would turn our attention from Iraq to Afghanistan, something you would have known if you didn't have your head up your ass.
One more. Understand yet or are you 100% murkin ?

TD, I agree the Taliban are a large part of the problem. But so are the Pakistanis, who've been funding the Taliban all along, and playing games while claiming to be our allies.
What we should do is pull out, sign a treaty with India, maybe sell them a couple of the old Aircraft Carriers we are about to decommission.
LOTS of media stories; situation WORSENING:The bigger issue is, why are we still in Afghanistan.

its way worse than that. I was just ruminating upon the uproar over the koran (that wasn't by us) put in a toilet etc. and the shellacking bush took on that.
This incident has heavily damaged our ability to disengage and implement our exit strategy, but not a word on that in the media.
