Many people I talk to about the Afghanistan war love to point out to me that many countries have tried to rule there and all have failed and then they start babbling on about how we are getting slaughtered there, how the Taliban did such a great job with law and order and when I bring up the fact girls are not allowed to go to school under the Taliban the first shot out of a liberals mouth is, "that's their culture", when I explain we didn't take them over I then often times have to tell the same people they don't have oil either. Good to know liberals and the Taliban are on the same side as it makes it easy to identify the assholes in the world.
Now the current President of Afghanistan got a lot of help from us, his own brother even started a drug running business! Ah yes, buenos momentos in Afghanistan! Would it surprise anyone President Karzai would release Taliban prisoners? Get a load of a few of the creeps the good President of Afghanistan released as a gesture of goodwill to the Taliban;

He was biometrically linked to two IED incidents, plus a latent fingerprint match linked him to another IED in Helmand province. Wali's personal property tested positive for multiple types of explosives in an explosive-residue test after his capture.
