Afghan government losing grip on country
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-af...SKBN1941Y1

There's been some discussion of increased Taliban activity. But this article puts a number to it. Afghan government has lost control of 10% of the country in the last year.

Where do you think the Taliban gets its money? And a lot of its support?

Yep, that's because we let theTaliban control it and it leaves the country. If we were smart, we'd control it, it would stay in the country, and the terrorists would be living on cots, 100 to a cabin, waiting for their next dose of medicine. Within 30 years they'd be out of existence due to lack of procreation. Would be a helluva lot cheaper than wars and propping up fake governments.

No, centuries.

Come to think of it, no, millennia.

No. When you create a fake government, does it ever work out?
