UK Warns: Afghanistan on Brink of Civil War

From Scotsman Online: Blair is preparing to rush 1000s more Brit troops to Afghanistan in a bid to stop the country sliding towards civil war, amid warnings the coalition faces a "complete strategic failure" in the effort to rebuild the nation. The grim prognosis was voiced by Afghanistan's defense minister, who warned that al-Qaeda was regrouping and planned to bring Iraq-style bloodshed to the country. Despite this warning that the security situation in Afghanistan was deteriorating, the US has now launched a determined action to ensure that Iraq is Britain's primary military focus... so, in other words: Bush doesn't give a damn about Afghanistan-- the nation that we know had ties to al-Qaeda, 9/11 and had the Taliban running the entire country-- but instead Bush wants all the focus on Iraq-- the nation that had no ties to al-Qaeda, 9/11, or WMDs. Do our actions in Iraq make ANY SENSE AT ALL to any of you?
