There were a couple of interesting nuggets to be mined from Today’s Papers this morning, concerning Afghanistan. The first is that President Bush doesn’t seem to know that we have more troops in Afghanistan than ever and the second is that none of the major papers have correspondents in Afghanistan any more. It’s telling that even though we have 10,000 troops facing enemies in a foreign country and are halfheartedly engaged in a rebuilding project there that is crucial to suppressing terrorism (much moreso than our effort in Iraq), the media seems to have completely moved on.
