Or is it just more blah blah blah
the article:

the key quote:
"Mr. President, you've got strong friends here," Bush told Karzai after they met for about an hour at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel here. "I expect progress and you expect progress, and I appreciate the report you have given me today."
The two leaders made no direct mention of Afghanistan's soaring drug trade, the unsuccessful search for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden or the resurgence of the Taliban.

I'm sure they didn't mention those things.
Overall, the experience of falling from a thousand foot tower goes pretty well, so long as you don't mention that last little thing at the bottom... don't you think?

Afghanistan is becoming less stable every day, as the Taliban slowly becomes resurgent. It is a sad commentary,
but all of our resources gave us a strong position, which in
time was bound to lose, just like the Soviets did before us.

Canadian military wrote President Hamid Karzai speech last year so hard to know what is true.
We do know that 91% of the world's herion is coming from afganistan and the taliban are still in control.

Afghanistan is a small country. it doesn't have many cities. it is mainly rural. it isn't that challenging to control these little cities and towns! USA is helping them to protect the poppies and i am some will end up here as heroine i bet Oliver North is pretty busy!Afghanistan has many tribes and it also has many mountains that can't be controlled. i know Iraq and Afghanistan is no IRAQ!

Everyone!!!!! is biased. I tend to believe the troops on the ground more than any other. From the reports I hear they are making considerable progress except along the Pakistan border where taliban get safe haven.

Bush's base will get their pipeline through Afghanistan, courtesy of former oil executive Karzai.

Yup. Just another attempt to obscure the truth by a government that has absolutely no respect for it to begin with.

Of course not. And never will as long as it's being occupied.
