Didn't the Russians spend 10yrs trying to stamp out corruption whilst building schools, roads & hospitals in Afghanistan?

And then the USA sold the Muja-haden 'freedom fighters' SAM missiles to bring down russian helicoptors?

I wonder which generous government will judge the Taliban to be freedom fighters this time? The Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, Saudis..... ??

Was that a desperate call? Nato is at the brink of collpase, their members were no longer patience to that stupid obligations!

Nato soldiers killing afghan civilians by intentions or mistakes were Ok, nothing goes punished,afghans police killing British soldiers was ungrateful...... I want to laughs how can the western world won this warwith such an arrogances manner! Thats why i said the entire war was lost already!

The NATO war in afghanistan was totally lost, they are just 'Face saving' for their politicians who couldnt get rid of this quagmire!

I really mean it this time. Come I dare you to stay corrupt. I double dare you.

The invasion of this lost county was lost the moment it began. The US oil companies put one of their own in power there, ex oil consultant Karzai. Of course the whole thing is corrupt and it will not change.

The afghanistan quamire was western countries inflicted by their own,including Britian. The Regan-Thatcher pact of fanatics supported those islamic fundamentalism terrorists in 1980s to covert soviets! now they are paying the price for those 'debts'! Brown was such a pointless leader when his fellow countrymen condemning him right after every single casualties...he cant change the situation, his harsh words was 'face saving' himself from his hot seat!

Rifts have already emerged between the allies on how to beef up the international force

The so called western democratic alliances was so fragile and useless! Paper tiger!

Gee I don't know but miracles were certainly possible when it came to blaming everything under the sun on Bush.
