"The biggest mistake of the coalition's early years here was under-investment in the Afghan forces. The money soon dried up and other priorities like Iraq took precedence. But things are changing in a big way now. There's a huge influx of hardware, people and money. And the targets are incredibly ambitious: to treble Afghan forces by 2014."

Mark Urban, diplomatic editor, Newsnight, BBC2, reporting from Afghanistan, 18 November, 2010; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00w5r67/Newsnight_18_11_2010/
