    It's a lack of security once again

    I'm just waiting for Bush to say that no one in his administration saw the collapse of Afghanistan coming ...

    Or for that matter, the rise of the Taliban once again (since Bush didn't follow through on getting Bin Laden and helping the Afghan people).

    On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bush administration just ignores Afghanistan.
