Somehow, in the three-and-a-half years that the United States has been here, it has not figured out how to avoid this trap. This incapacity for institutional learning is perhaps the most surprising failing on the part of the Army that I have witnessed. Each new contingent starts from scratch; knowledge of local tribal dynamics, geography, customs and personalities painstakingly acquired by the previous unit is never properly transferred. And so the same mistakes are made again and again. Frankly, I don't think the US cares to figure it out.......after all, the WH has a record of not being very discerning with whom it allies itself. I think everything is staged for the benefit of the American public while the Bush administration goes about doing what it wants to do. When Karzai voiced outraged over the US torture of Afghans and then within 24 hours of that outrage, turned around and said he doesn't blame the US..........I realized that all of it was staged by Bush/Karzai.....the outrage AND the reversal.....to keep the American public happy.......and in the dark.
