Figuring Afghanistan- an obscurity!

A suicide bomb went off exactly 22 minutes ago in Wazir Akbar Khan, Street 14. I’m okay, shukor so is family. Breaking news: At least 2 civilians dead and counting.

Ya Allah, khayr! I’m waiting for information to flood the office.

Afghanistan- an obscure arithmetical equation.

Labor winning the elections in Australia + Republicans aren’t glamorous enough to win the 2008 US elections = Withdrawal of troops from Iraq (an indication of increase in militant insurgency).

Pakistans deteriorating situation due to an obsessed, overly panicked President who’s doing whatever it takes to remain president- but is being faced with a Bhutto-Sharif opposition.

UN reports signify an increased opium trade in Afghanistan; further, anti-government elements have contaminated 54 per cent of Afghanistan who will be present in the long run. It has been anticipated that Kabul will be managed by AGES by mid-2008. NATO has been urged to double it’s troops. No no no the US troops need to disperse into the remote areas where the anti government elements are regrouping, not in the towns as they are currently positioned.

This leaves Afghanistan standing on a bar of soap, will easily slip!

Security chief just declared an unconfirmed explosion in Karte Naw. All movement within Kabul has been restricted, so that means i'm locked down in my office. Joy!
