Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak said there were about 15,000 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan but their numbers were being swelled by foreign insurgents moving in from Iraq, where violence has fallen after a U.S. troop "surge" and other measures.
"Since last year, as the result of the success of the surge in Iraq, there has been a flow of foreign terrorists into Afghanistan," Wardak told a news conference.
I mean our "good war," of course. They're all "good" from the jihadi point of view.
Still, at least the constant refrain by the Left that Afghanistan is the location for the real fight against al Qaeda is finally true--which means our Left want to run from this fight now, naturally.
