Default Afghanistan

One of the worse US blunders in Iraq is that it pulled troops from a far more dangerous point, Afghanistan where Islamic terrorists were given a reprive by our redeployment of forces to Iraq (where there were few if any anti-American terrorist before the war).

I dont know to laugh or cry over that one. Most likely there will be more rubble soon in ramadi. Already US fighter bombers are going through the Bush urban renewal exercise there.

Default Karzai to arm local tribesmen to help fight the Taliban

Hmm.... what is this? "Balance of powers"? What a wierd thing to do. Guess that means Bushie said "no" to more troops?
