Damn it I was expecting Darth Vader in a Burkha and you give me a story about the great escape.

Surely no one thought Afghanistan was going to an easy task nations have been bogged down there and eventually forced out for the centuries.

The key sentence in that report and the heart of the matter is -'over the border into Pakistan.'

There lies the rub. It has been, and will remain, the reason for the continued survival and revival of the Taliban.

Unless we are prepared to face stalemate, we must grap the nettle and come up with drastic action over this issue.

As long as we're putting the majority of our resources into Iraq, we cannot possibly win in Afghanistan.
