Looking back, if the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld triumvirate including Rice had only paid a lil more attention to the intel data submitted to him by North Alliance chief the Lion of Peshwar prior to 9/11, they wouldn't find themselves in the shit they are today.

And now they think that they could achieve something by hollering at the top of their voices. And Brown thinks Milliband is big enough to stand up to Rice's bullying?

Agreed, but a nitpick: Massoud was known as the Lion of Panshir (or Panjshir), from the name of his secluded mountain valley HQ.

Does anyone know what the war in Afghanistan is supposed to be about?

(Apart from the drugs, obviously.)

The West™ makes a fool of itself in Afghanistan again (episode 98).

BUT if we pull out, that means the terrists win.

I remember thinking about him on 9/11, only hours before I heard the news.
