The cold, hard realities of Afghanistan

Here are the facts of Afghanistan:

Surge in troops to Afghanistan.

More spending by US taxpayers.

More dead civilians.

More dead Americans.

Taliban influence increasing across the country.

Yet the President and other high level officials say that Afghanistan is improving.

Glad we have the media -- the Fouth Estate -- to tell us the truth by serving as a check on government power.

This is why it is so critical to be an informed citizen and for there to be an an active and independent news media.
