Americans being militarily defeated in Afghanistan

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday February 05, 2003 21:05author by Phuq Hedd Report this post to the editors

Robert Fisk / The Independent ' Don't Mention The War In Afghanistan '

Robert Fisk points out the similarities to the current US military situation in Afghanistan and the situation the USSR was in prior to their pullout: 1. Up to 25% of the weapons caches are imported since the US occupation 2. The US has had to abandon several military outposts 3. Rape of women and burning of schools is still going on. 4. Al Qaeda still operate a radio station within Afghanistan which calls for the expulsion of the Americans. Where's the "success"? Fisk asks. Are the US going to have another "success" like this in Iraq? References a New York Times article by Marc Kaufman
