Sigh. Bushmoron not only gave us a new Vietnam in Iraq, but he also gave us the Soviet version of Vietnam in Afghanistan. Wow, double-decker disaster dude, isn’t he?

Win the war and lose the peace is pretty much the post-World War II US record.

We had the problem contained and a long-term solution at hand, and they gave it up to attack Iraq.

Amateurs and dilettantes – that’s the Hedgemony.

Really? The Bushmoron had another surge? Hmmm… yeah it’s about that time again. You sure it wasn’t just another pair of rolled up sox? He does that you know… He tries to wow the people with his big surge, but it’s all a fake… 😉

I have mistakenly focused on the fact that these are the people that actually attacked the US, and they continue to attack because of the surge and the other stupidity of the criminal conspiracy that is the current US government.

Yeah… some of us tend to do that! We are soooo bad! *sigh* Facts and reality have no place in a fictional World.

IMHO, I think this was a test by the recently escaped Taliban leaders and fighters. Wouldn’t surprise me if they are camped out in Pakistan, and skirmish over for border raids. I’d bet they were after supplies mainly.

It will get worse, especially if given time to consolidate, plan and resupply.

If I were a Taliban leader, I’d probably bide my time and see if Busmoron attacks Iran (even via Israel proxy), or, failing that event, for the Prez election and handover to new Administration. That would be a perfect time for a major gorilla warfare style offensive in Afghanistan. Ask the Russians, they know how patient and cunning and tough the Taliban actually are.

Then again, the Taliban may simple wait for the USA to self-destruct and make their job so much easier.
