Blunt talk with NATO's Secretary General about the mission in Afghanistan. Jaap de Hoop Scheffer mounts a vigorous defense of how the war is being run. He's in Canada at a crucial moment as support for the war in Afghanistan continues to fall. Is the tension between the American "war on terror" tactics and NATO's hearts-and-minds plan the fatal flaw in the mission? Watch all the stories at www.cbc.ca/onthemap
When will the American troops and american realise that they are fighting for few polititon interest and greed.the Afghans are defending their land and people, against an invader.
Then there is the heroin... some say that the top american brass are involved in the production and smuggling, just as they did in SE Asia.
Never mind, a few months, and the American economy will be well gone, just as the Germans went after the last war and USSR in 1990

Avi is as pathic as always. He bases his argument on his leftist pie in the sky beliefs. He should do his homework before an interview. I am ashamed he passes as a journalist in canada.

I wish that Avi was the target of a "black bag" job by his own government.

This Avi fellow really has a hard-on for hating America. This is the second interview I've seen where he tried to get the subject to say something negative about the U.S.
Por que Avi?

Ari your legitimacy goes out the window when criticizing the war in Afghanistan if something in the New York Times grabs your eye. Maybe a trip to A-Stan would help you shape your arguments in a little more balanced fashion. Actually, maybe a trip taken to Afghanistan by the dudes that wrote your questions would be better.
Avi, maybe you should go back to being a VJ.
Out!

"So-called Enemy" -- Avi honestly? If they are not enemies what are they? Maybe you would like to put up an Al Qaeda cell in your basement as they are our friends? Might as well make them card carrying NDP voters too while you're at it.
Yes, NATO and the US talk privately. Because after all NATO is a Secret Society of White Men who plan to take over the world and put chips in all our sculls without us knowing. Where's my Reynolds wrap??
