Recommended: Truth, lies and Afghanistan

Lt. Col. Daniel Davis has written a piece in the Armed forces Journal: Truth, lies and Afghanistan. It is worth reading. He just finished touring Afghanistan for the past year. Fundamentally he reports that, despite the rosy and optimistic views of administration spokesmen, Afghanistan is a disaster and getting worse every day.

We already know that the Bush administration mislead us (or deliberately lied to us) about our supposed success in Afghanistan. Apparently the Obama administration has done the same. I'm not surprised, but I am disgusted.
