Interview with a correspondent over there - talking about what a smooth/wily figure Karzai is (smears the US when it befits his needs politically), about how many of his family members are in his government, etc.

went on to talk about how countries are prepping to leave - and leaving the US in a quandry. Used terms like nation building, fighting a group (Taliban) that had nothing to do with 911 - how we need to find some sort of a success or else the last 8 plus years will be seen as a waste of time. I nearly crashed my car - seen as a waste of time? As in if a sale-able reason isn't fabricated, there will be, what - PR hell to pay? My God.

so there you have it - the Afghan war as a political/PR stunt.

And why are we still there, and why are Bush et all not in prison for mass murder?
