US casualties hike in Afghanistan

Well, see what Herr Bush's dumb wars have led us to. Now, he's has to speed up troop withdraw from an unwin[n]able war in Iraq to battle in Afghanistan where he should've stayed in the first place after the fall of the Taliban. What's more the Taliban have regained full strength and can kill with impunity since they can find immediate refuge in US ally's Pakistan. What's he going to do about that? Exercise soft power? Send in his secret weapon John Negroponte who has twisted and retwisted and then twisted again Pervez Mushareff's arm to no avail. Herr Bush is caught in his own trap. It is no small wonder...the fool Bush long ago announced, he had given up capture of Osama ben Laden...the man's not important, and we all know the US troops fumbled the hunt in the Afghan caves when they could've nabbed the man. 18Brumaire has reported before the noises emanating in Saudi palaces of Herr Bush's friends, that he secretly agreed to stop the ben Laden hunt if he withdrew US troops from Saudi soil and got a pledge of no attacks on the US. This may be true, then it may not. Eventually the truth will out. Under pressure, Herr Bush's folly in Iraq is causing another unwinnable war in Afghanistan, thanks to Herr Bush's limited vision and imagination. Perhaps he should talk to god for guidance?
