Thing is...everyone is leaving in 2011. I think the article is more fearmongering than anything else. The Globe is a fairly liberal rag in Canada, saying that Kandahar is going to be vulnurable after the forces leave is a little misleading, we’re going to have to leave eventually and that will leave the whole of Afghanistan vulurable. The real test of victory doesn’t occur until we do leave and the Afghanistan government stands on its own.
Unless you are privy to some new, that's Iraq.
