Afghanistan Becoming 'Unmanagable' Says UN Representative
Source: Australia Network News

The United Nation's outgoing Representative to Afghanistan, Kai Eide has told the Security Council that the situation in the country is becoming unmanagable.

In his last formal address to the UN, he said he's worried about the strength of the Taliban insurgency.

Mr Eide says many Afghans feel that their country is treated as a 'no man's land' instead of a sovereign nation.

"I am worried about growing impatience in the public opinon of donor countries," he said.

1. This is not necessarily bad news to the Empire.
It wants everyone else out of Af-Pak anyway so it can get its kill on without prying eyes.

2. This is Bush's problem. He's the one that took the eye off the ball. Nobody else is at fault.
But everyone will have to pay for it. Especially the kids who fight the war.
