'No Winners' Yet in Afghan Poll, Karzai Ahead



Afghan journalists mourn their colleague - 10 Sep 09



Pakistan arrests high-ranking Taliban official - 12 Sep 09



I keep hearing how tough the Afghan army is when they are forced to fight. I am sure they are tough. All Afghan men are, Taliban or Government soldier. The thing is therefore reducing our foot print while forcing them and the Afghan civilians to fight. I have a great idea! Pakistan and the Lashkar as we discussed yesterday have had great results and the Lashkar are doing what they enjoy, killing Taliban!

You know the Afghan Government would not allow them on their soil so why not invite the Lashkar to get paid for their enjoyment of killing Taliban and invite them to Afghanistan to ply their trade. This proposal should be publicly floated by Karzai. You know it will not be accepted but it would insult Afghanistan and get them off their duffs and unite and clear out the Taliban as Pakistan and the Lashkar are doing if they really want to get out from under the fists of the Taliban!

I know how important Afghanistan is to the American people but what about the economy? What about Health care reform? What about continued job losses? What about continuing foreclosures? I know Afghanistan is very important but was surprised to see it was all about Afghanistan. Once again I decided to let the links and the videos tell the story and you could read and watch the ones important to you.I will have my closing statement following the links!

Unease Grows Over Afghan Election

Afghanistan: Questions, answers on war, US plans

I will just observe that there is controversy right now in the House and the Senate on what to do in Afghanistan.Do we give them more money? No! Do we add more troops? No! Do we give Afghanistan an ultimatum? Yes! Announce a withdrawal date? You betcha! Karzai is corrupt and using us to stay in power. Put the ball in his court. Make the Government and Afghan citizens support their own country.

Make Afghani's do their own fighting and get the hell out. We, the infidels are causing the problem. Our men are dying for nothing, a corrupt Government and a country that will never unite period unless it is under the Taliban. Leave them there and concentrate on the border and helping Pakistan who does want to kill the Taliban and secure their Democracy. Do what Pakistan is doing with their Lashkar as we discussed yesterday! Supply Afghanistan with arms food and supplies and we will see how much they want their country. We did our job, Get Out Now!
