    @-- farragut

    Your president Bush effectively surrendered Afghanistan in October 2001 when he allowed the ISI to fly the Taliban Commanders out of Tora Bora to safetey because he was too cowardly to finish them off. We're in the process of cleaning up the shitty mess Bush created through his egregious incompetence.
