More 'Progress' In Afghanistan As Nato Suffers Worst Day In Kabul

In September 2010, a total of 2,781 Afghan soldiers fled their posts. In September 2011 5,574 got wise and departed. Progress, according the the US Defence Department. The situation appears ripe for another White House 'Mission Accomplished' moment.

    Hi, Tony.

    This isn't specifically about Afghanistan, although heaven knows that's horrifying enough.

    This particular bit of hypocrisy showed up in Toronto's Globe and Mail yesterday, part of their series on creative philanthropy, whatever that is.

    Tony Blair: "I put my faith in creative philanthropy"

    I think the man may be losing the few marbles he has left. Either that or he is a formidable liar. I'm afraid I couldn't get past the first paragraph.

    Seems like an outbreak of violence follows every Western progress report.

    Thanks for this, Filo. I thought Blair had scraped the barrel-bottom right through to the ground. This article proves he is still working on it. Toe-curling. I will put this up on Wolves In the City and Tweet it too. It's going on the Guardian blog as well.
