"KABUL, Afghanistan - U.S. military deaths, suicide bombings and opium production hit record highs in 2007. Taliban militants killed more than 925 Afghan police. But U.S. officials here insist things are looking up."
Bush can't even "win" in a two-bit country like Afghanistan. In all fairness, no one has. Only a fool invades Afghanistan. But how many times, Oh Lord, how many times have we heard things are "looking up"?
