Afghanistan continues to crumble during Laura Bush visit

Forget her talk about blaming Karzai for the problems, George Bush seems to be standing front and center here. He's the one who had to have his war in Iraq, taking away money, military, resources and focus. Did he really think that a country that had been at war for a few decades could just somehow spring into action with the wave of a magic wand? Now we're treated to another Laura Bush drive in Afghanistan as Bush asks the world to step in and help out even though he abandoned the country long ago. During her visit, it was just another normal day with a journalist murdered, a suicide bomb killing three British soldiers along with the routine deadly attacks on government and civilians. As the season goes on we will surely be hearing more about the poppy fields and their rapid growth as the Bush administration abandoned the country.

Laura Bush can save her breath and talk to her husband the next time they meet. He's the one who ignored Afghanistan, claiming another victory before the job was done.
