New U.S. commander, old questions about war

U.S. and NATO troops quickly routed Taliban forces in Afghanistan months after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. In the years since, the Taliban has regrouped and established effective control over large swaths of Afghan territory.

Afghanistan's drug trade has also flourished, and the government of President Hamid Karzai has been beset by allegations of illegitimacy and corruption. Fledgling Afghan security forces continue to receive training, but have yet to demonstrate they can function on their own.



Kosovo's drug trade has also flourished, and the government of Thaci and Co. has been also beset by allegations of illegitimacy and corruption. Fledgling Kosovo Albanian security forces continue to receive training, but have yet to demonstrate they can function on their own.


We are winning double! High Five,everybody!
