Today in Afghan News

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Afghan officials said Monday that Taliban forces have taken over two towns in the southern part of the country, while coalition troops said they were investigating whether the insurgents had indeed seized control.

With all the international troops in the country can someone explain how on earth the Taliban can possibly be getting stronger? At what point do we decide we've got the wrong strategy.

We can open a Tim Horton's in Afghanistan but we can't stop a supposedly beaten force from rising up again. What's wrong with us?

There's a Tim Hortons in Afghanistan? What next!!! I can't figure any of this out either, although I have a feeling that a lot of the Taliban have been hiding out in Pakistan biding their time and building up their weapons. Who knows?
