Al Qaeda has established a new safe haven in the tribal agencies of Pakistan, where it is defended by a new organization, the Taliban Cyber Monday UGGs On Sale Movement of Pakistan. The government of Pakistan, beset by one political crisis after another and split between a traditionally autonomous military and assertive but fractious elected leaders, has been unable to retain control of its own territory and population.

Quoted from Ahmed Rashid's article on Afghanistan90% of the Cyber Monday UGGs land area is controlled by the Afghan insurgents and 10% (only in cities) are in the hands of the NATO's hand picked Afghan mercenary leaders.

What is the real purpose of american invasion of Afghanistan?
9/11 Terrorist attack can never be the real reason, if that is so american should have attacked and occupied Saudi Arabia first before moving on to Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and in couple of years to Iran.
The REAL intention of attacking and occupying Afghanistan is to help american oil companies help build the oil pipe lines from the oil rich Caspian sea area. Can it prevent Iranians building pipe lines to supply gas to China, India and Pakistan?
The Americans talked to the so called good Talibans (ready to receive bribe) and asked them to allow the US to have 8 bases. If agreed the US will Cyber Monday UGGs Outlet pull out of Afghanistan.
Did not the US organise (under Reagan) the Muslim jihadis to liberate Afghanistan? Was not the US having its hidden agenda harming Afghanistan profoundly?
The Russians would have withdrawn from Afghanistan even without American intervention. The Afghan resistance was turned into foreign backed terrorism by the Americans again out of political expediency.
Contrary to what some say, the Northern Alliance were a bunch of overlords and incorrigible terrorists too, led by a warlord Abdul Haq. They are not angels.
But now the US favour them. Why? Usual divide and rule As a matter of fact the US are talking to Taliban asking them to allow American bases. The Taliban were able to seize control of the country so easily in 1996 precisely because the hatred and resentment of the majority of Afghans against the very war lords of the Northern Alliance.
If the West wants to help solve the problem let them provide UGGs Cyber Monday financial aid to build more schools, roads, hospitals, infrastructure, power plants etc. and make the Afghans realise that economic development is a prerequisite to root out the lunatic fringe getting involved in counterterrorism in order to show their displeasure on the Western powers.
In particular Obama is relying more heavily than Bush on the raids by drones that have killed many civilians in Cyber Monday UGG Boots Pakistan.
Former Petraeus's counter insurgency advisor David Kilkullen reported that drones have killed about 40 alleged terrorists and 700 civilians: a hit rate of 2%
