On last night's edition of The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert targeted the War in Afghanistan in a metaphor-laden monologue, during which he described the country in relationship terms: Now, we could go back to our old girl, Afghanistan. Well, guess what we forgot? She is fucking cra-zy! That's why we left. She's moodier than a drunk hyena, she's always broke, and she has a serious heroin problem. Plus she's had so many dysfunctional relationships: the Soviets, the British, Alexander the Great. I'm beginning to think she's just not that into being invaded.That led into a conversation with CBS News foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan, who seemed to balance a faith that President Barack Obama recognizes the importance of Afghanistan with a concern that there is no time to debate the proper strategy:There was also a semi-awkward moment during the interview where Logan expressed the need to address the al Qaeda threat in countries other than Afghanistan.
