Afghanistan another clusterfuck from The Decider

lambert's picture

Gee, I thought Afghanistan was one mission Bush did accomplish? Guess not:

A massive explosion believed to have been caused by a rocket shook the Afghan capital late Wednesday near the U.S. Embassy compound, wounding an Afghan security contractor, officials said.

But don't worry! We're really looking at last throes here:

The explosion comes amid a spike in increasingly brazen attacks targeting U.S.-led coalition military forces in Afghanistan, particularly across the country's south, where remnants of the toppled Taliban government have carried out increasing numbers of bombings and attacks.

If this "remnant" is like the Iraqi "bitter enders," we are so Fucked...

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
