Fear And Loathing In Kabul

Hahmed says 'See Y'all'

NATO released a characteristically absurd statement this morning that the fact that the Taliban are attacking them right where they live is a sign of desperation on their part and an indication of NATO/ISAF success. You get the picture - bizarro world. 

As one journalist covering Afghanistan put it, “The ease with which suicide bombers can infiltrate the Kabul police’s so-called ring of steel to attack hotels, lob rocket-propelled grenades at the U.S. embassy or kill prominent Afghans intensifies the increasing impression that this is a city up for grabs.”

“I think every generation like me, they all think about leaving Afghanistan, because…everything is different,” said Kohistani. From Here.
