But the military liars didn’t tell the truth about the metropolis of Marjah, Afghanistan, which has been the subject of so much recent attention by the lock hurters. Far from being an 80,000-strong local capital of Talibania, it’s barely a smudge on the road. Of course, now it is a smudge on the road. UPDATE from Mark Janness: Don’t take anyone’s word on the urban density of Marjah. See for yourself on google map here. Government exaggerations (lies), just like Pelosi’s 4 million heath care jobs. Can anyone really take these nut cases seriously anymore?
