> Scotland on Sunday revealed last month that Blair is preparing to rush thousands more British troops to Afghanistan in a bid to stop the country sliding towards civil war, amid warnings the coalition faces a "complete strategic failure" in the effort to rebuild the nation.

4. CIVIL WAR in AFGHANISTAN!!! Where's our MSM?

While Rummy is using Bush-speak on the Sunday talk shows and at his press conference, the UK media reports on the Bush administration's admission that the situation is dire in Iraq and that we fact a CIVIL WAR in AFGHANISTAN!!!! Rummy hasn't even talked about Afghanistan.

And the Bush solution??? Tell Tony to send more troops so the UK can destroy its military the same way we are doing to ours.

Why do I have to read a Scottish newspaper to find out that Afghanistan faces a civil war and that the coalition could face "complete strategic failure" there????
