Quote:Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Afghan and NATO troops were attempting to push back an insurgent attack on a hotel outside Kabul early Friday, with at least one Afghan police officer killed, Afghan and allied officials said.

Kabul Police Chief Mohammed Ayoub Salangi said the standoff began before midnight Thursday (3:30 p.m. ET), when three attackers with a variety of weapons attacked the Spozhmai hotel and restaurant at Lake Qargha, west of the Afghan capital.

If this is still possible in Afghanistan's most "secure" city, and this isn't the only time or most serious time it's happened, how in the world can anyone think we're ready to leave? Or this war is worth staying until 2014?

I just don't get it...they (their government) don't want us there, the world doesn't want us there, hell we don't want to be there..so why in the hell are we still there? We can get Afghan's forces ready with a smaller amount of troops in an advisory role as we can with 90,000 fighting an enemy that will hardly ever come out to play with us.
