Trying to blow Afghanistan up...

...into a big political issue:

1) Jim Travesty in the Toronto Star:

Afghanistan explodes onto agenda

2) Ralph Surette in the Halifax Chronicle Herald:

New Afghan crisis may be real election issue

I'm sorry, but a bad week does not signify any imminent crisis--unless you want troops out. Odd too that neither columnist seems to have noticed that help will probably soon be on the way from the US and UK--as for most of the rest of NATO...

Update: Haroon the Magnificent of the Toronto Star seems to have forgotten what he criticized Mr Obama for talking about concerning Afghanistan. How convenient.
