The US/NATO strategy to 'win'
Afghanistan is now dead and buried, according to author.
By Pepe Escobar
Al-Jazeera
"....Now consider this:
"A war begun for no wise purpose, carried on with a strange mixture of rashness and timidity, brought to a close after suffering and disaster, without much glory attached either to the government which directed, or the great body of troops which waged it. Not one benefit, political or military, was acquired with this war. Our eventual evacuation of the country resembled the retreat of an army defeated."A NATO commander? No; British army chaplain Rev GR Gleig, writing about the First Anglo-Afghan War. The year: 1843.
Talk about the graveyard of empires."
