3. The Taliban are gone from Pakistan, they are back in Afghanistan

The Karzai puppet government is another of Bush's fantasies. Karzai does not even control all of Kabul. The Afghans are tired of their warlords and the foreign troops and are now longing for the peace and law and order of Taliban rule.
