The situations are spiralling downward in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Yet these arrogant SOB’s won’t admit failure in planning or execution. When is enough going to be enough??????

The Taleban have ousted Afghan security forces from a district headquarters in the western Farah province after days of heavy fighting, police say.
The forces were besieged and support was unable to reach them, Farah police chief Sayed Aqa Saqib told the BBC.
