So much for that "role model for Iraq" eh bush? Ya stupid MFer.
Afghanistan close to anarchy, warns general
Forces short of equipment and 'running out of time'

The most senior British military commander in Afghanistan yesterday described the situation in the country as "close to anarchy" with feuding foreign agencies and unethical private security companies compounding problems caused by local corruption.
The stark warning came from Lieutenant General David Richards, head of Nato's international security force in Afghanistan, who warned that western forces there were short of equipment and were "running out of time" if they were going to meet the expectations of the Afghan people.

1. bush; putting ERROR in Terror since 2000
Is that an original line? Did you come up with that?

The whole world is watching us fuck up everything.

GWB, the anti-Midas touch.

4. Halliburton is doing very well -- huge huge profits
might as well make out your IRS checks to Halliburton -- remove the middle men.

We in the choir make the connection but I doubt that the vast majority of Americans understand that their very hard earned wages which are going to pay taxes are being spent by drunken fools.

7. You know what, someone I really respect, someone who is
much smarter than I ever was on my best day, couldn't believe TWO YEARS AGO that women couldn't walk the streets in most of Afghanistan.

If my local fishwrap hadn't run a front page story, I truly believe he would have called in a welfare check for me.

:wtf:
