So much for the Obama led war in Afghanistan!

Apparently some 500, yeah thats right 500 taliban fighters escaped from a prison in Afghanistan by way of a hole they dug from a nearby home!

Talk about some motivated people! You almost have to admire the fact they went back for their own people. One can only wonder how 500 people could escape from a maximum security prison without anyone knowing it happend until they were long gone. I'd say it was an inside job and a clear message that the efforts in Afghanistan are a big waste of money. How much do you figure America paid to capture these 500 men? Has to be in the millions, if not over a billion dollars! All that bribe money to find them and then all the resouces to capture them and for what?

It's quite clear we are spinning our wheels in Afghanistan. Poor leadership and a total lack of a mission are more than likley the reason things like this happen. The bottom line here is that no matter how many we capture and how much money we spend the war in Afghanistan seems more like a policing than a war. Big problem here is once we catch them we turn them over to sympathetic police.

There can be no doubt it was an inside job. People that were paid bribe money for intel likley got the money and their people back.

None the less the tale reads like a major Hollywood production.
