#2 "These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act, and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or ~~by releasing good and well respected Taliban we will show the world that we're serious about negotiations~~ they will share in their fate."
George W. Bush, Statement To Joint Session Of Congress September 20th 2001

Assessing the present situation in light of the above statement, would it be wrong to conclude that the West is being defeated by Afghanistan?

#4 No, it only defeats itself. Notice the lesson from Iraq - you can't build a nation, till you gravely incapacitate the enemy. Just smile nicely to the likes of Karzai, ignore'em, and continue doing what ever you need to achieve the destruction of the enemy. What are they going to do? Join the enemy? That'll just make the targeting easier.

#5 In the production of foie gras, a device called a gavage is inserted in the mouth of the goose with a tube that runs to its stomach. Great amounts of food are pumped through the gavage, inducing obesity and a fatty liver in the goose.

A similar technique used at Gitmo could produce prisoners that look much like Manuel Uribe. In such a condition, they could safely be returned to Afghanistan.

Even if they lost all that weight, they would walk around with a tent of flabby skin around their body.
