RT- "Afghan war is lost and US government has to face it."

There is no "winning" in Afghanistan. That was apparent from the start.
They didn't do anything to anybody. They were just invaded under a stupid pretense that they were "harboring OBL", without even any confirmation of it.
Bush says,"We think OBL is there, so we'll invade".
It was probably the most stupid thing ever. It destroyed any credibility for the US, if it even had any credibility left.

What would winning be?
Taking over the country?
Making it a puppet-state?
Killing all the Afghani people?
What?
They can't even say what "winning" might even be.
They don't even know, or at least they can't say, because it's an ulteriorly evil imperial exploitation.
It is imbecilic and evil beyond belief.

It's amazing to see the walls of the palace crumbling before our eyes. The federal government has lost so much credibility in the past 2 years because of blatant incompetence and bare-faced corruption that the people cannot ignore the fallacy that it really is. How wonderful this is, but at such a heavy cost. The government have their pants down and everyone's laughing, but my only concern is what the government's retaliation will be.

Admitting to a mistake is simply not possible for these delusional psychopaths. Hence, the troops will eventually be deserted and Americans will be starving in the streets.

A link to the Washington Post article, and this video, will be sent to all my neo-con "wave the flag and support the troops by supporting foolhardy and needless undeclared war" relatives.

The sad part is that the points raised in these links won't be addressed by any of them. Instead, they will take issue with the video being produced by a media outlet with "Russia" in the title, and the news article is found in a "liberal rag" like the Washington Post.

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

U.S. indirectly paying Afghan warlords as part of security contract
By Karen DeYoung

The U.S. military is funding a massive protection racket in Afghanistan, indirectly paying tens of millions of dollars to warlords, corrupt public officials and the Taliban to ensure safe passage of its supply convoys throughout the country, according to congressional investigators.

The security arrangements, part of a $2.16 billion transport contract, violate laws on the use of private contractors, as well as Defense Department regulations, and “dramatically undermine” larger U.S. objectives of curtailing corruption and strengthening effective governance in Afghanistan, a report released late Monday said.

The report describes a Defense Department that is well aware that some of the money paid to contractors winds up in the hands of warlords and insurgents. Military logisticians on the ground are focused on getting supplies where they are needed and have “virtually no understanding of how security is actually provided” for the local truck convoys that transport more than 70 percent of all goods and materials used by U.S. troops. Alarms raised by prime trucking contractors were met by the military “with indifference and inaction,” the report said.

“The findings of this report range from sobering to shocking,” Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.) wrote in an introduction to the 79-page report, titled “Warlord, Inc., Extortion and Corruption Along the U.S. Supply Chain in Afghanistan.”
