Afghanistan will never be stabilized - never, ever, ever irregardless if we hadn't gone into Iraq. We'll be fighting and dying and spending trillions in Afghanistan well into your grandchildren's adult life if someone doesn't get the message to cut our losses and get the hell out of there.

i wouldn't call powell and idiot. he was sold a bill of goods by bush and cheney, et al.

this was on my home page when i got home today:

LONDON — An Iraqi defector who went by the codename “Curveball” has publicly admitted for the first time that he made up stories about mobile bioweapons trucks and secret factories to try to bring down Saddam Hussein’s regime.

also:

As it turned out, Powell was not told that one of the sources for the information — “Curveball" — had been flagged by the Defense Intelligence Agency as suspect and untrustworthy.




and, as i said elsewhere, afganistan was most likely a mistake. that country has always been unkind to invaders. at any rate, it certainly didn't help all those years that afganistan was an afterthought, iraq taking all the focus, the money, the efforts. how much longer now in afganistan? who knows? and trillions spent, gone forever. and for WHAT??? so bush could dress up in a flight suit and play army. yay.
