He also said if you liked your insurance you could keep it. He also said he was going to have a transparent administration. As goes Iraq when we departed so will Afghanistan, they are some what the same. They are not loyal to a country, loyalty lies with religion, family, tribal lords. They've been that was since Alexander the Great's time, why should they change now?

Our war in Afghanistan's over, eh? By whose estimation? The Taliban's? The Haqqani Network's? The GIRoA's? Yeah....not buying that at all. That's a political jab meant to throw a back-handed insult to the more hawkish pols on Capital Hill. One has to wonder at this relatively late juncture of this presidency which alternate reality they all live in.
