1) More people have been killed in Pakistan in 2007 and 2008 in terror attacks than in the period 2001 to 2006. 2) Suicide attacks in Afghanistan have spiked with the number of terror attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan, having doubled since 2006. 3) The Taleban in Afghanistan and their allies in Pakistan are cashing in on the lucractive opium trade and Pakistan military inefficiency in the FATA areas, a lawless region in Pakistan along the Aghan border. 4) The insurgency in Afghanistan is set to worsen and more lives will be lost. These are the facts. They are not from conspiracy theorists, nor are they from a senile Mugabe like dictator, they are the words of NATO generals, US Intelligence chiefs, US senators and the US president's own Afghan Study Group report released in January 2008. The disinformation spread by George Bush serves to insult the intelligence of the world. Al-Qaeda and the Taleban are strong and growing stronger, and threaten not only south Asia, but the larger region as well.
