Taliban extends authority, influence in Afghanistan

American and British forces have been suffering greater casualties in Afghanistan as they step up their battle against the Taliban.
The war is weighing heavily on the British public, as a new poll revealed on Tuesday. The survey was commissioned by The Independent newspaper and found that 58 percent think the war is unwinnable, and 52 percent want British forces withdrawn immediately.
Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who worked on an advisory board to General Stanley McChrystal in Afghanistan, joins Martin Savidge to discuss if victory is possible for NATO forces.

We have paid enough times for this horse. The premise upon which this extended live-fire exercise has been conducted, is entirely erroneous and subsequently counterproductive. It is not up to the Afghans to agree to want we want, it is up to the Afghans to comply with the opportunities provided, or suffer the consequences of war. The amount of treasure and blood already expended, is very far from trivial, even in comparison to the Balkans and/or Iraq.

Honesty is so refreshing. I nearly believed him saying we have a chance of victory, whatever that is
