Where it has been unsafe to go outside Kabul since the invasion, now the Taliban is ramping up suicide attacks.
Here's the bragging about it, from Mullah Omar, as reported on Jan 9th.

And the reality on the ground, and it's getting worse by the day.

All the hallmarks of becoming an out of control situation, and yet our Ambassador to NATO Victoria Nuland insists on spouting Bush talking points, I swear she almost said "bring it on", instead of dealing with the reality on the ground.
The US in the process of handing over the reigns in this operation to NATO, and yet NATO operates under UN guidlines for engagement.
I listened to the voice of this 'cheeerleader', Victoria Nuland on the BBC tonight, as she directly contradicted a UK representative's assesmment during an earlier interview about the scope and purpose of the NATO involvement in Afghanistan.
The confusion about role versus goal has all the makings for yet another in a series of tragedies, courtesy of more bumbling by the Bush Corporation.
Next up as victims on the Bush Corp's list of the dead and dying for lack of sound policy, troops of NATO, and the Afghan people.
Incredible, the level of incompetence.
When is someone going to try to at least do their homework in this collection of brown nosing toadies? What connection does Victoria Nuland have {via her previous connections in Dick Cheney's office and her husband Robert Kagan} to the cabal of neocon morons?
When is the Bush Administration's quest for stupidity going to stop?
