This is especially timely since just this week the Taliban invaded Pakistan's Army HQ and took hostages. This demonstrates that Pakistan's gov't has lost control and the country is close to chaos.

Afghanistan is urgent <i>now</i>? Who was it that urged Bush to pull those troops out to do an unnecessary war in Iraq? Afghanistan went to crap because of the neocons.

Here's another recommended read for you Sunday pleasure: <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/217090" rel="nofollow"><i>Newsweek</i> has a cover story on Joe Biden.</a> His remarks about Afghanistan/Pakistan are extremely interesting. <blockquote>Joe Biden had a question. During a long Sunday meeting with President Obama and top national-security advisers on Sept. 13, the VP interjected, "Can I just clarify a factual point? How much will we spend this year on Afghanistan?" Someone provided the figure: $65 billion. "And how much will we spend on Pakistan?" Another figure was supplied: $2.25 billion. "Well, by my calculations that's a 30-to-1 ratio in favor of Afghanistan. So I have a question. Al Qaeda is almost all in Pakistan, and Pakistan has nuclear weapons. And yet for every dollar we're spending in Pakistan, we're spending $30 in Afghanistan. Does that make strategic sense?" The White House Situation Room fell silent. But the questions had their desired effect: those gathered began putting more thought into Pakistan as the key theater in the region.</blockquote> Damn straight.
