#2 Britain's Foreign Office minister says reluctant NATO allies need to get real about the threat posed by a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan.

Why when it is the Foreign Ministry and/or State Department which ignores that reality that the Taliban have secure bases in Pakland? Cause that forces one to acknowledge that the solution is to take the fight to the enemy in Pakland which you don't want because it is soooo messy. Look in the mirror dude.

#4 Maybe when the UK gets serious on the home frontIRT terrorists, somebody might just listen. Till then, however.......
