That Afghan clusterfuck is getting grim.Just talking about the political stuff,Karzaiis openly daring us to GTFO, knowing full well that he would be dead within a week. That is if he stayed - which he wouldn't.
This means that he knows we ain't going nowhere.
Gen Dostum is a non-starter. A worse war criminal than even the US can get away w/ backing. And our boy, bdullah,is from the wrong tribe.
Alas.
(I do love tweaking the boyz. Must be easily amused.)
