Now Afghanistan Becomes "The Forgotten War"

The MSM loses all interest just as the Taliban appears to be suing for peace:

One of the Taliban's most senior and charismatic commanders has become a key negotiator as more and more members of the Islamic militia in Afghanistan give up the fight against the Americans.

...

More than 1,000 people have died in violence in the past 18 months, but attacks have tailed off since the guerrillas failed to make good their vow to disrupt the presidential election in October, which saw a huge turnout and was won by Mr Karzai.

Zalmay Khalilzad, the US ambassador to Afghanistan, said yesterday that a group of Taliban militia including senior officials will soon join the Afghan government's peace initiative.

"They are in Kabul seeking peace and to boost the reconciliation process," he said, adding that he was hopeful that the Taliban surrender would take place before the parliamentary elections, expected in the summer.

Well, if Iraq is really going to be Vietnam, they have to make Afghanistan Korea.

The reason that MSM has forgotten about Afganistan is that there is no bad news coming out of Afganistan.

There's not a whole lot of bad news coming out of Iraq, either. Most of it is made up in NYC, Atlanta and by the Euroweenies.

No, we won't go visit your blog. Not even if you bring a six month old thread back from the grave with taunts and profanity.

"Battle buddies".

Yeah, right. The only battle this guy's been in is at Starbucks that time when someone tried to cut in line and make him wait longer for his latte.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
