By the end of 2008
53,000 military troops
Mostly U.S.
America spending billions
Wanting to avoid nation building
Pakistan, seen as their ally
Now betraying them
In Aug 2009
Karzai was up for re-election
Ballot boxes stuffed
With false papers
Karzai won
Re-election
President Karzai
Suspected the British army
Was involved in the drugs
Trade in Helmund
Afghanistan
Was beginning to look
Like just another
Tin *** dictatorship
Another, 30,000 sent by America
Bringing the total to 142,000
Americans went into Helmund
Afghan army and police force
Being built
The cost of which
Cannot be sustained
Corruption and
Drug tradin
As long as the Afghan
Government lacks
Legitimacy
With the overwhelming
Majority
It's security forces
May not be able to hold
The Taliban at bay
In a counter insurgency
You are only as good
As the government you serve
The war is unsustainable
The armies
Of the international coalition
Are heading for the exits
