Deja Boom

Another day, another massive bombing in Afghanistan, this time near the Indian Embassy in Kabul. The NY Times is reporting at least 40 killed and 140 injured in the blast. This follows the attack in Islamabad, Pakistan the day earlier, which targeted the Danish Embassy. It's beginning to look like Baghdad, 2007.

In last week's press conference, a very concerned Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mullen said that more troops were needed in Afghanistan to address the Taliban insurgency. With our combat brigades tied down in Iraq, that will be a tall order, as the Pentagon has informed Dumbya. . . .who is probably busy thinking about an attack on Iran.
