Saw this on the front page of our daily gossip rag (Stars & Stripes). Seems like everything is going according to the plan for the 2014 draw down.

One of the steps to winning an insurgency is for the host nation to take the lead in fighting the enemy.

so training them how to oppress and kill their own people on behalf of the invader?
can you show me a single country in the world that are proud that their military is capable of raiding their civilian's homes?

Whether you like it or not,

This war is coming to an end. You can underline that 6 times

The ANA already suffers from attrition

At some point, it may collapse within a matter of weeks via attrition or simple "walking away"

Where have you left your logic, wrora? If the army breaks the soldiers will splitt themself and join their favoured warlords and keep fighting you. Your Paki sponsors getting poor. lol But don´t worry, every 18years old American, ANA, British, ... can fight you down and send as much as possible to hell. Your Talibanheroes can not fight against the ANA. Otherwise they wouldn´t act as suicide bombers or try to come as women under Burqas. What a shame, ... a shame for all Muslims and Islam. And you want to defend ''Islam''? Defend your own ghirat!
