Imo we win the war in Afghanistan when we don´t lose it. The allies are in danger of losing their face and like you and me noone really knows what they´re fighting for and if it´s worth the sacrifices. I´m convinced the political and military leaders are just trying to somehow get out of there witho...

Pud, it´s not about wether drones can serve a pourpose in wars or not. They do under certain circunstances. What they don´t do - and that was what imo you suggested - is winning the war in Afghanistan on their own. Wether in one special case or the other civilians were or were not killed is not the ...

I wouldn´t trust a single source from any camp but overall by having multiple sources of information we can get a general impression of the situation over there.

What has you being some kind of cop or whatever to do with wanting to get the press out of Afghanistan to have a free field for your strange vision of how this conflict should be fought? Some hints for you: The way to le...

Wow, pretty ignorant statements once again. I wonder if you´d guys say the same if you a) had any knowledge about the conflict and b) had experienced total war in your lifetime yourself Maybe you wouldn´t be such big advocates of mass killings if your family or wife had been the target of general ra...

Since years there is a trend to portray the situation in Afghanistan better than it is. The funny thing is, this is partly done to create the impression that the country is safe enough for the western troops to leave (the other important part of course is to show the public that its tax money brings...
