The underhanded way in which lies, propaganda and illusions about the nature and reality of Afghanistan get fed to the people by their governments, to me cannot be justfiied with national security interests or protecting the troops. what politicians here are trying is to protect themselves from being held responsible - and this they try by running to win time and delaying the truth from becoming known. It is a state-run national conspiracy against the people and against the troops. the purpose is not to save Afghanistan and it is not about security and counter-terrorism, but to hide the grim truth about the war being lost, the mission having failed, and the troops getting exposed to fire for nothing but lies and illusions. It is about trying to evade political responsibility for the mess until another government has taken over. It's about delaying the enlightenment of the people, and it is about not knowing what to do instead of just keeping the current path and hoping that a miracle would save the mess from becoming obvious for everybody.

It is a conspiracy by governments to deceive their own people. Military objectives, Afghan interests have nothing to do with it anymore.
