Wikileaks - WikiLeaks
US Gov is quoted as having said: Holy shit, 91 thousand?

The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

ANYONE who has spent the past two days reading through the 92,000 military field reports and other documents made public by the whistle-blower site WikiLeaks may be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss is about. I’m a researcher who studies Afghanistan and have no regular access to classified information, yet I have seen nothing in the documents that has either surprised me or told me anything of significance. I suspect that’s the case even for someone who reads only a third of the articles on Afghanistan in his local newspaper.

Also, Pakistan has been supporting the Taliban while being our ally.
BusinessDay - US ?suspects? Pakistan supporting Taliban
Something much more important that has come from wikileaks is this: Top Secret America | washingtonpost.com

Of course. War is good for business. The wealthy and powerful over there do not want us to leave because we're making them extremely rich and maintaining their power structure.
US militarism in that region has never had anything to do with terrorism or brown people, but with corporate greed and oil stability
After we invade, we never pull out. We still have a whole shitload of military personnel in Germany, Korea, Iraq. If we scale down Afpak it will only be on the horizon of invasion elsewhere.
