I suspect that the recent violence in Afghanistan is due to two important factors:
1) We've crushed them in Iraq, and like roaches, the jihadis flee to another place. Here, it's Afghanistan.
2) Musharraf kicked them out of Pakistan.
We'd have to fight these guys one place or another. The Dems prefer we do it in Afghanistan, so this is a good place to rack up some kills.
"2) Musharraf kicked them out of Pakistan. "
Incorrect - Mush signed a peace deal with them in Waziristan.
