EMPIRE AFGHANISTAN - THE CRISIS IN D.C. wsws.org 11-17-09

If you want to know what's wrong with the West, ask a Red. As with many reports on this site, the evaluation of our predicament is less ideological and more balanced than one would expect. The facts appear to me to be about right, and the tone measured (for folks who despise everything America stands for). So, now, to the $64 question:
 
What will he do?
 
Alert followers of our latest debacle-in-regress will know that a recent report rates our "partner" in this ill-fated venture the second most corrupt
 
 government on the planet, beating out only the currently unnation of Somalia. Add to the chorus of discontent our current ambassador/former commander, and the very visible and voluble Mr. Hoh, and it's a fine mess Shrub & Co. have left for BHO to clean up.
 
But, our man in D.C. may be about to really own this war. Let's hope he remembers that discretion is the better part of valor, especially when you have to hock your Nobel to pay for bus fare to the battlefield.
