Afghanistan's capital of Kabul is "deteriorating by the hour," a reporter there tells NPR, as trust in the nation's government dwindles and the insurgent group continues its sweeping offensive.
The Taliban captured all of Logar province Saturday — just south of Kabul — and have reached the Char Asyab district, just 7 miles south of the Afghan capital, according to The Associated Press, which cited local lawmakers. The insurgents also captured the capital of Paktika along Pakistan's western border.

When the British abandoned Kabul in 1842 over 30,000 soldiers and civilians died. It may be new for us but not for them

Whatever, the GOP decided to fight THIS WAR IN IRAQ???? So what would you expect to happen. Well, 20 years later what can you expect especially since they were in charge of it for more than half of the conflict and that there was NO OIL THERE.
