Afghanistan doesn't have to be lost, but it's looking more and more like we will lose it.
Let's start with Paddy Ashdown, who said something you're not allowed to say:
Paddy Ashdown, the former U.N. high representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, warned major instability would be inevitable in the region if resurgent Islamic extremists gain the upper hand.
"We have lost, I think, and success is now unlikely," Ashdown told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper.
"I believe losing in Afghanistan is worse than losing in Iraq. It will mean that Pakistan will fall and it will have serious implications internally for the security of our own countries and will instigate a wider Shiite-Sunni regional war on a grand scale," he added. | |
