- Knowing that massive casualties in Afghanistan would sap U.S. public support for the invasion, the Bush regime chose to use the warlords of the region as proxy fighters. Large rewards offered by the U.S. led to innocent people being handed over to be tortured by U.S. agents in Afghanistan, Guantanimo Bay, and elsewhere.

Doesn''t wash because large rewards for innocent people to torture is totally unprofitable and in fact, counterproductive. - Reply to this comment
No matter how many soldiers are killed and maimed in Afghanistan, no matter how many Afghan wedding parties are bombed by U.S. planes, no matter how many civilians are tortured and slaughtered by U.S. agents, and despite the futility and pointlessness of this self defeating military misadventure, many Americans continue to champion the war of aggression against Afghanistan as a noble cause. Billions upon billions of dollars in U.S. treasure continue to be transferred to war profiteers and druglords as a result, while to blood of U.S. soldiers continues to be needlessly spilled.
Many cite Afghanistan as the gravestone of the former Soviet Union- the final nail in the coffin, as they were ultimately forced to withdraw, unable to successfully maintain a military occupation of the country. The U.S. now not only faces a humiliating military defeat in Afghanistan, but a crippling multi-tiered defeat in Iraq, on the economic, military, and moral fronts.- Reply to this comment
Returning to the article-
Following the events of 9/11/01, Taliban officials offered to hand over CIA asset, Osama bin Laden, to face charges. Their only condition was that U.S. officials present evidence of Osama''s involvement in these attacks. The Bush regime declined, because they had no such evidence, and because they intended to attack the people of Afghanistan regardless of whether or not they were involved in the 9/11 events.
What the Bush regime wanted, was to resume opium production (which was negligible under the Taliban), and to pave the way for the construction of a pipeline through Afghanistan, so that they could extract the hydrocarbon resources from the region.
Knowing that massive casualties in Afghanistan would sap U.S. public support for the invasion, the Bush regime chose to use the warlords of the region as proxy fighters. Large rewards offered by the U.S. led to innocent people being handed over to be tortured by U.S. agents in Afghanistan, Guantanimo Bay, and elsewhere.- Reply to this comment

I suppose that there are a few craven and delusional simps that might be interested in what he has to say, Mr. Totten.
First he has to make it out of Afghanistan alive though.- Reply to this comment

Re: "So how can he threaten to invade Pakistan when he doesn''t even have enough troops to deal with the Taliban?"

Funnier yet is that he is widely known as the "Mayor of Kabul", as he controls very little beyond the capitol city.
Also, he is scheduled for replacement by PNAC lackey, and Bush regime stooge, Zalmay Khalilzad.
