I guarantee we would not have went into Afghanistan if he was in office, and Al Quada would still have it under its grasps. Theres a reason why the media never says anything about Afghanistan, because it is a better place now and who wants to hear the good news right? |
Here in europe is Afghanistan regularly in the media. For the ongoing fights, for terrorists attacks, for ongoing Taliban influence and for the record year for drug-farmers. Admitted, Iraq makes it to the media more often, but Afghanistan has it's media-coverage. As I said, hear in euope. Possibly american media don't cover the failures there. But the US-government knows about that and wants more german troops in Afghanistan. |
Yea in the US it gets almost no coverage at all. The last time I heard it was going good, elections and taliban were under control. The opium is very much a problem, I just never hear any bad news about it thusly why i believed it was under better circumstances. I eat the crow. |
The lack of coverage of that in the US is just plain creepy. I've always wondered if things were going on there that we were just unaware of. | Eh i wouldn't say it's creepy. Just that Iraq is worse. Once we pull out of Iraq the media will pound on Afghanistan with the same fury.

What is happening in Afghaiastan and Pakistan is far worse than Iraq. The problems that we caused there and our decision not to rebuild or improve the infrastructure there is a massive failure and itisn't the first time we did this in that area. Afghanistan is an extremely impoverished nation and a place that is rife with instability.
