The Taliban have been on the attack for the last week.
Hundreds of Taliban fighters took over several villages in southern Afghanistan on Monday just outside the region's largest city, and NATO and Afghan forces were redeploying to meet the threat, officials said. Mohammad Farooq, the government leader in the Arghandab district of Kandahar province, said around 500 Taliban fighters moved into his district and took over several villages.The push into Arghandab comes three days after a sophisticated Taliban attack on Kandahar's prison that freed hundreds of insurgent fighters being held there.
And more on this insane jail break:
Up to 1,000 prisoners, including 400 Taliban militants, are on the run following an audacious breakout from a jail in Afghanistan.Fifteen security staff were reported dead after a well-planned attack on Sarposa Prison in Kandahar involving a car bomb, suicide bombers and rocket explosions.
The attack began with the blowing of the jail's entrance by a suicide bomber blowing up a lorry.
Several dozen Taliban, armed with rocket propelled grenades and assault rifles then stormed the mud-built compound and started to free the prisoners

I didnt read your text, just the headline because it was such a joke. As much as you'd like america to wallow in a defeat for political gain, the taliban are not taking back afghanistan. You're really a sick person sometimes. Here is what you'd like to see happen: America suffer military defeats abroad, income redistributed in the name of "equality," federal authority overseeing our existence, innovation and enterprise regulated by authority, and the absence of the rule of law regarding foreigners gaining citizenship.

I find it hysterical/pathetic that you seem to think you know what he would like to see happen.
Opinions are like assholes everyone has them and all of them stink. So if you don't like his how about you stop reading his blog?
