Taliban swarming

Soon the weather will get more better in the mountains of Afghanistan and the Taliban warriors will wriggle out to start arranging things for the new heroin crop that supports the whole country. That is, except the part we support, one city.
Our plan to have them grow okra and cabbage instead of poppies failed. No paying market for okra and cabbage! They eat stuff like that!
I'm not sure who runs that one city we occupy (starts with a K) in Afghanistan, I think there is a very old King there, borrowed from Paris retirement, (he lived with Idi Amin and that General we sent there from Haiti), and a fellow in a green robe and funny Jackie Kennedy pill box hat, but I'm not sure.
On the other hand, the generals in Iraq (ours) have been given orders to come up with a withdrawal plan that suits what their boss in Florida, and the joint chiefs want. As soon as it is an acceptable plan to Washington, the only one that matters, we will begin to do it.
The Shiites are still trying to kill out the Sunnis before they go after us again--they are deadly afraid that we are going to make them put some more Sunnis and Kurds in their "government."
We don't much care if the Turks continue to bomb and attack the Kurds in Northern Kurdistan (Iraq, I think). The Kurds will never be managed by anybody!
So. look for Taliban, Shiite, Turkish, and Kurds, all swarming soon!
