Afghanistan confusion
If you find it hard to keep up with what's happening in Afghanistan, you're in good company: so does the Pentagon.

Today's news is that either the Taliban have seized several villages near Kandahar and are on the verge of overrunning Afghanistan's second largest city -- or that they're nowhere to be seen.

Today's Pentagon press briefing was little help, with spokesman Geoff Morrell saying he really couldn't verify either version of events. Morrell went on to say that the chaos erupting in Afghanistan is ... just the traditional summertime fighting. Read Morrell's statements below.

2. If G.W. had any brains he would step down from office

The dumb ass doesn't seem to know how he has screwed up America.

Johnson decided to not run for another term when he realized how bad things had turned in Viet Nam and knew he lost the people's confidence. George will never has a "come to Jesus" moment, he is incapable.

Edit: The answers at that press meeting sounds like it was written by Rumsfeld. How can he not know or have a clue as to whether there is an eminent threat to Kandahar (sp?)? This is going to be a long hot summer for our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
