KABUL, Afghanistan The Taliban insurgency has spread through more of Afghanistan than at any point since 2001, according to data compiled by the United Nations as well as interviews with numerous local officials in areas under threat.
In addition, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan over the past two weeks has evacuated four of its 13 provincial offices around the country the most it has ever done for security reasons according to local officials in the affected areas.
The data, compiled in early September even before the latest surge in violence in northern Afghanistan showed that United Nations security officials had already rated the threat level in about half of the countrys administrative districts as either high or extreme, more than at any time since the American invasion ousted the Taliban in 2001. . .

I am so sick of dealing with these countries! I want us out! Tell them if they screw with us, they have 24 hours to get their people to safety, because after 24 hours, they will have no cities, no airports, no trains, no bridges, no electricity or gas, etc.. Screw ‘em!
This was his Plan by the Time he left Office ..
Isis is killing Christians.
Israel is surrounded
Iran has the Bomb
Barry and VJ biggest regret is that Muslim Brotherhood terrorists are not in power and destroying Israel.
He has undone anything Bush might have accomplished and that was his promise. His only problem not solved is Guantanamo. He’s close on that and will give it back to Cuba next year.
We got out, or we're getting out. We're getting out of everything, it's the Obama doctrine FRiend. Hope your grand-children and great-grand-children get to enjoy some brief freedom and prosperity before it all ends.

Oh come on! Of what value are these countries to us? Let Europe fight for their oil. They are barbarians that we should either ignore or destroy. I’m sick of the money and lives were spending for savages.
Look. I don’t give a damn if the Taliban is running wild in Afghanistan. They haven’t bothered anyone within the United States, as far as I know. They just want to control their own damn country, and take it back from the thieving, crooked elite bastards who now are running their country. Why is it that the US always backs cor5rupt regimes in that part of the world? Let them have it. They kicked out the Russians. They can’t be that bad.
I have always preferred the strategy you propose. You screw with us, we come in and break everything and leave. If you screw with us again, we come back and break more things. Repeat until objective is achieved.
I also hate bringing in barbarian refugees. That type of thing helped to destroy the Roman Empire.
has the kenyan prince yet included afghanistan on any of his Apology Tour....yet?
