Afghanistan
You know what's interesting?
The Iraq war has so overshadowed the situation in Afghanistan that we don't even get much of a conversation (such as these conversations go) about the success with which Bush and the other members of the coalition are prosecuting it with.
So as a handy service, a recap of the situation in Afghanistan:
Osama bin Laden = on the lam.
US troop deaths in Afghanistan = on the rise EVERY YEAR since the start of the war in 2001.
Iraq clusterfuck = free ride for Bush on topic of the actual 9/11 war.
