U.S. Officials Say Taliban Attacks SurgeHow many times have you been asked by a wingnut, how would you fight the 'war on terror'? Or, what's the Democrats' plan to fight the 'war on terror'?
Taliban fighters seeking to regain power in Afghanistan are taking advantage of a recent peace deal with the Pakistan government to dramatically increase attacks on U.S. and allied forces in eastern and southeastern Afghanistan, several American military officials said Tuesday.
Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, said in an interview that Taliban attacks surged by 200 percent in December, and a U.S. military intelligence officer said that since the peace deal went into effect Sept. 5 the number of attacks in the border area has grown by 300 percent.
Your simple answer to these Bush-apologists should simply be; We should have continued and ended the 'real' war on terror against those who actually had something to do with 9/11 instead of being too dumb to know better and allowing the liars in the Bush administration to lead us into a war against a country that wasn't.
