Afghanistan has never been a success story. Now, most of the country is controlled by drug lords and the Taliban. And the news is getting worse, per the NYT.
This year is already the deadliest for American soldiers in Afghanistan since the war of 2001, and the violence is likely to intensify before the nation's legislative elections on Sept. 18.One culprit? Bush's buddies Pakistan.
The Afghan officials said it was increasingly clear in recent weeks that the elections were not the only target and they accused Pakistan, in particular, of supporting a long-term strategy of destabilization in Afghanistan to keep the country weak. "Maybe they see a stable Afghanistan as a threat to themselves," the security official said.The simple truth is that Bush can't do ANYTHING right.
