Has that been reversed or is the US laying down too many deliberate Westernesque conditions for the Taliban. <br /><br />The decision to withdraw or persist in Afghanistan, according to the outcome of Operation Moshtarak, wouldn't be made even theoretically on the hustings before May 6th - would it? Surely not - as I presume to withdraw would be a vote-winner and to achieve success against the 'enemy' would also be a vote-winner - although a little more tentative than a withdrawal. Just exactly who is Operation Moshtarak a 'win-win' situation for in the UK?<br /><br />I suppose a consolidated foothold in Afghanistan close to the Iran border is necessary - the old hawk, Mr Cheney, thinks so at any rate. <br /><br />Too many more handsome young faces to fill our screens - for what, I really don't understand.Clarindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189996558442989039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-29549203832696410642010-02-09T10:44:02.907+00:002010-02-09T10:44:02.907+00:00I heard a commentary last night WFW and it was sai...I heard a commentary last night WFW and it was said that if this fails then we'll be out pronto and if it doesn't then we may have a slow withdrawal.<br /><br />Not too sure if I agree with that.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-86148908932214507102010-02-09T09:42:33.659+00:002010-02-09T09:42:33.659+00:00RIP indeed SR.
