hehe,

Look at this link and on the left you can see what the front page cover says on the European, Asian, Latin-American editions.

And on the bottom you have the American edition!

(Or check the international version and the American one)

err... yeah. seems like americans want to be kept blind.

even after the latest NIE report, some are in denial.

as well as

rofl, somebodies in denial

Denial is right. But from I can see, most Americans I know admit that they have lost Afghanistan. I personally say that the US lost Afghanistan since day one. Taliban are in power, and will remain in power and will grow stronger as long as a foreign occupying force is in their country.

Denial is a defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is painful to accept rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.

The Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001. They are no longer in power.

Hamid Karzai in June 2002 formally became president of Afghanistan.

31 nations are contributing to NATO-led peacekeeping forces in Afghanistan because the US is focusing their efforts in Iraq.

Your a little behind the times, now you should be up to date.

Does explain a few things...

Well it has been a while since the whole thing started ... but IF I recall correctly, wasn't Bin ladin the "Object Ball"?

Why the hell does it take 5 years to kill one fucking person?!?

So far a shit load of the wrong people have ended up dead, and that silly prick is STILL sucking air!

Hence I am disinclined to call in a "win"...

virtualraider, since they are not in power as you say, then how come they pose a huge threat to the government and the US?

I not really sure how to answer your question Micoshit, I just read the News like you.

My suggestion would be for you to do so research on Hamid Karzai. He was born in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 1957 and he is an ethnic Pashtun from the city of Kandahar, Karzai is leader of the powerful 500,000-strong Populzai clan. Hamid Karzai asked the US and UN for their support.

All I am saying is Hamid Karzai is a viable leader for Afghanistan and he was freely elected. To me he is a much better choice than the Taliban, not because he supports the US but because his faith in his country's future is inextinguishable.

I know this is offtopic but does anyone find it strange that the US will pay anyone only $25million for finding Binladen or any of the Al-Qaeda heads? That is like pocket money for some people, I say his head should be worth well over $200million.

Haha that's funny. I saw this on teh Daily Show a few days ago. Although I admire Annie Leibovitz's work, not sure exactly why did would have a different cover.
