Thats the lead to an article on CNN's home page right now. March of 2012.
Is the war in Afghanistan unraveling?
How retarded would you have to be to have that thought cross your mind for the first time in March of 2012?
The war in/on Afghanistan has been unraveling since that first blush of victory eleven years ago. Eleven years ago we'd put paid to the Talibs and their Al Qaeda cohorts. A few short months of carpet bombing, lots of on-the-ground help from the Northern Alliance, and the Taliban were supposedly on the run.
The war has been "unraveling" ever since.
Today, even as over 100,000 ISAF troops remain on the ground, the Taliban are in control of almost all of the country outside the major urban centers. And those major urban centers aren't safe zones for ISAF troops. Rather, they are combat zones.
Is the war in Afghanistan unraveling?
No.
It's over.
We lost.
