War In Afghannistan

In the end it was a battle of wills. The American situation is quite different, since the Americans are only engaging a very small segment of Afghan population.

 

That being said I don't believe the war in Afghanistan is lost, not by a long shot.  Of course its obvious that victory has by no meants yet been achieved nor is it likely to be in the short run.  What the US needs to do is cut its losses in Iraq and move to a containment strategy in the gulf which will allow the US to shift intelligence and military assets to Afghanistan.  The US can't win this war decisively but it can slowly wear down the resistance movement through low intensity warfare inside Afghanistan with the help of renewed Pakistani offensives in Waziristan.  Of course the US will need to shift its priorities here and provide Mr. Musharraf with the appropriate aid... and incentives.  Essentially provide the nation of Pakistan with substantial amounts Economic and military aid. 

 

You don't need to remind us that rewriting history is the favorite business of YOURS. 

 

 

I didn't write they were not doing this, so your remark is pointless here.

 

But the best way for you to impress us of course would be a new story from Mr. Litvinenko about "how Putin was involved in creating of gas chambers in Afghanistan etc."    

 

So what, what are you trying to prove I didn't see any new points. It is a well known fact that Soviet army behaved brutally in Afghanistan and hundred of thousands of civilians were killed.

 

Have you discovered this only recently? I'm really sorry for you...
