Re: Did you read Keller's Op-Ed article in the NYTimes today? "all those dependable ex-Communists." Do you think he writes about the dictators who control the countries that surround Afghanistan?


Yes and no. I believe that Fleisher and the anonymous White House "sources" were referring to the newest additions to NATO like Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary etc.

Re: Once they were communists, I believe. Last week, a ews anchor mentioned that those countries around Afghanistan supported the war.

That's right. The heads of Turkmenistan and Kazakstan were Soviet strongmen.
