Why is this news? We've always been the secondary supplier of both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, only second to the primary providers in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan ...

No mistakes were made. We don't want to win the war in Afganistan because then there would be no terrorist threat to scare voters with.

I'm confused. Was the cock-up that they gave rocket propelled grenades to terrorists or was it that they got caught giving rocket propelled grenades to terrorists?

I don't see why the Afghani forces are upset. After all, it's not like the Taliban would use those RPGs against them, right?
