There's so much going on right now that blogging will probably continue to be in short bursts just so I can get all the info out there that I need to.

In case you hadn't noticed, there's still a war in Afghanistan going on. In fact, and the military says it's just a coincidence, last night we unleashed an attack on some Afghan villages. The US government and media have been working so hard at making us pay attention to Iraq that news like this is relegated to the MSNBC ticker. I didn't even see it last night on the Fox News ticker. Here's a quote from the above linked Guardian article:

Attacks on Afghan government posts in the south of the country have increased in recent weeks, with authorities blaming remnants of the Taliban, al-Qaida and loyalists of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a renegade rebel commander labelled a terrorist by the US.

Taliban soldiers ambushed an Afghan government post in the south and killed three Afghan soldiers, a security official said on Thursday. The soldiers were ambushed early on Wednesday and had their throats cut. Five Taliban attackers were arrested.

Excuse me, but if Bush Senior's good buddy is still running around trying to destabilize the new government in Afghanistan and we're still fighting there, perhaps the media should report that so we all know instead of disseminating the same disinformation that the government wants us to believe.
