News of Afghanistan ۵۰
50?! Seems like I just started doing these little round ups of news from Afghanistan. Mind you, my focus has changed a bit over the course of that time. I am trying to let people see more than bombs. Afghanistan is a more complex story than that. Also, I just want people to see who is interested in that country - and why.
For CSM Bones and I, it has been a couple of weeks where we have been mulling over events in our old AO.
So, here we go, on with the News!
And speaking of pessimistic UN reports, here is another.
A Kabul Commodity report.
Let 'im go.
OK, let's try that jirga thing again, shall we?
Good. Plus good. Perhaps even, Double Plus Good.
As Mike Ditka once asked a reporter... "Who you crappin'?" I freely admit I would rather have this guy dead, dead, dead. But this is for the Afghans to figure out.
An olive branch and a thank you.

I sure hope this works out.

"Tashkur, Pakistan!"

Was Pakistan working on/with ol' Hekmatyar?
Central aid authority...hmmm?
Uh-oh time on the Iranian border.
I'm just putting this one up - because I can! It's me at the main orphanage in Charikar.

Major John,
I have read the Donuts' postings back into last spring with considerable interest... especially stories such as the one you described about "Solatia." We are working on a project for the Army Research Laboratory to improve cultural skills between US soldiers and indigenous populations. I would like to discuss several issues with you and obtain your insights. Would you be interested? My direct email address is:

Thanks,
