Obama's War - Fearing Another Quagmire in Afghanistan - NYTimes.com

Obama's War - Fearing Another Quagmire in Afghanistan - NYTimes.com:

'...during her confirmation hearing, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Afghanistan a “narco-state” with a government “plagued by limited capacity and widespread corruption.”'

Well we can't say that the IRS is skimming profits from drug smuggling, but the rest of Clinton's description sounds pretty accurate. The government in DC doesn't know what it's doing, and one reason it's so incompetent is that it's so corrupt. That was an accurate description until January 21, anyway. Let' hope and hope some more that corruption and incompetence ended that day.
