Playing Chicken with American Blood in Afganistan



This man is now in charge in Afganistan. But Afganistan is not going so well as reported here. The Afganie government is too corrupt to be a responsible partner and the Afganie people are afraid to help the US soldiers because they hear official Washington tell them that as of July 2011 we are gone. So, given that the Taliban will remain and that the Taliban brutally kill collaborators, why should they help? Would you?

But what is the currency in this miserable game of chicken where Obama won't reassure the Afganies for fear of setting his base on fire? That currency is American blood. While Obama and the Afgan government try to see who can piss on the other the most, American soldiers are dying and shedding their blood on a part of the world we don't care a lick about.

Yet again, another worthless war fought with our most precious treasure, American blood.
