Afghanistan: war, waste and weaknesses

It is sickening to learn that Taliban forces have taken areas of Afghanistan that British troops fought so hard to defend. Over a hundred soldiers died between 2006 and 2010. Sangin has fallen to these Muslim militants. (We will probably be told this has nothing to do with Islam.) British soldiers who gave so much must feel terrible to hear how bad it is in Afghanistan these days. So little was accomplished at such a great cost.

Our politicians lied to us, and they failed to provide our troops with the appropriate resources. And millions of tax payers' money wasted! It could have been spent here in the UK on the NHS.

These days the Taliban like to refer to themselves as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistian. That sounds like something to do with Islam to me.
