Gorbachev has warned NATO that victory in Afghanistan is not possible. I tend to agree with the old boy on this one. We have been there 9+ years and have achieved very little, apart from killing a few tribal leaders, civilians, insurgents and increased the supply of Opium.
The USA should have read the history books before venturing into this neck of the woods. And what about Osama Bin Laden, why is nobody talking about him anymore? Do we believe the rumours that he died a few years ago or the rumours that say he doesn't actually exist?
Pointless - Public opinion no longer matters in this day and age. People in power will rough trod over all to achieve their objectives and throw the necessary spin so that the prols wont rise up.
The weather is getting me down, it is damp grey and miserable in the way that only the UK can be.
And the long predicted winter of discontent is on its way..
