UN warns about Afghan instability

[maddezmom]

The United Nation's top envoy for Afghanistan has said that violence is threatening security in the run-up to September's elections.
Jean Arnault said that rebels loyal to the former Taleban had become more violent.

His comments came as the Afghan and US-led forces ended a big military operation in southern Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has seen some of its worst bloodshed in recent months, with a spate of attacks blamed on the Taleban.

Mr Arnault told the UN Security Council that Afghanistan's national security was going through a "negative evolution".

2. But..but..but...I thought we were winning the war on terra? Wasn't

democracy on the move? I guess they meant to say the opium and heroin was on the move... :eyes:

(sarcasm now off)

3. UN is full of shit

Cheney just said Iraq will be a success just like Afghanistan. So, how can there be problems if Cheney says Afghanistan is a "success"?

:sarcasm:

7. Don't worry Bolton will get in there and fix that ol' messed up UN

They won't be reporting shit like that anymore after bolton gets in there. That's treason don'tcha know. You can't say something the US "fixed" is still broken, it is just plain treason to suggest such a thing.

4. Didn't they hear Obersturmfuhrer Cheney declare Afgh. a succes story?

I mean, er, a wild success story?

Obersturmfuhrer Cheney is never wrong!

5. I thought the "MAYOR OF KABUL" and UNOCAL had Control

With almost 800 Black Water mercenaries at $1,700.00 per day protecting KHARZAI's sorry ass and Unocal's billions -- that the place would be a veritable, Garden of Eden of DEMOCRACY.

LOL

GUESS I WAS WRONG.

6. Cheney's right, Iraq is an even BIGGER "SUCCESS STORY"

The more people who die, the more "PROGRESS" being made.

The bigger the disaster, the bigger the "SUCCESS".

Votes of 98-0 House and 140-1 Congress means libruls are "SOFT" on terra.

Up is down, in is out.

8. My thoughts exactly

9. afgan never was secure--Kabal-yes but other than that it was open to

warlards who were in charge and want to remain in charge.

10. I was against

the 'war' on Afghanistan as well as on Iraq.
The intelligent thing to do was police action and Osama would have been caugth. The Bu$h admin. doesn't want him caught, if his is caught no reason for war.
