There will be much to add, on the need to raise opium prices to support the banks, on America's desperate need for a wider war to mask financial collapse, on the mirage of a route to Caspian oil, on the end of empires, and much much more.  

But you have posted the essence right there.  

The End has been laid, and now it unfolds.

apparently the valley they're heading into is littered with the rusting hulks of the russian tanks that gave up the ghost there.

first england, drunk on empire hubris kicked out by a bunch of warlords, then the russkis, obama's hoping for third time lucky.

like moths to a flame.

let's see, 40 million pashtoons that don't even recognise the afghan-pakistan border (like drones that way), and who see america with the same love america felt for the brits when occupied by them.

50,000 troops should be plenty, right?

right?
