Quote by: Praxius  I appreciate the very good points you made..... but this is an article about Afghanistan.... the other war you guys are in. 
The Afghan army is having better progress then their Iraqi counterpart.... not to diss the Iraqis in this matter, their situation is a lot worse of a condition.... making it more difficult.
But the Afghan army has been helping the Canadians in a good select few of missions, I don't think it will take too long....... there's even reports of sole afghan missions sent by the government without NATO assistance, and they report the same mission information as we do.... so they're doing quite well I must say.... they just need much better equipment and more body armor.... plus a bit more training and I think they'd be very good.... they are a proud people, they've just been beaten down without a fighting chance for too long. |
Whoops, I am so used to seeing Iraq all the time.
It is really the same answer, but the other issue is how they are so willing to plant drugs everywhere in that country.
China is screwing with us sending rockets in a little bit of a proxy war through Iran and we in return have not been breaking necks to stop all those drugs from going back to China. We also have been screwing internally with Iran since they started to screw with Iraq and helping kill our soldiers.
Lots of proxy wars going on.
Bottom line is the same as Iraq + the drug issue.
China says 90% of the illegal drugs to them come from Afghanistan.
