Thriving, modernized Taliban: indictment of Bush’s failed strategy
By WDavidStephenson | September 20, 2008
The story in today’s WaPo about the Taliban’s resurgence and modernization is a damning indictment of Bush’s failed foreign policy, which diverted attention and resources from the just war in Afghanistan to pursue his fabricated crusade against Iraq. Now, our overextended and depleted resources don’t allow devoting adequate forces in Afghanistan, while we’ve effectively lost the heart and minds of the people. Selfishly, I can only breathe a sigh of relief that my son left there just before things dissolved into anarchy. Sad to say, many other parents can’t say the same.
It is hard to imagine what history will record about this sorry turn of events, but we certainly should not reward it by four more years of the same approach.
