It's becoming more and more unlikely that we will be given the truth about Afghanistan. The military says one thing, the CIA another. Things are swell according to the guys with bars, the spies say that's not the case. In a recent intelligence estimate the CIA sees nothing but stalemate largely because of our friend, Hamid, and our Pakistani allies.
The activities of the past week support the CIA's position. The Taliban was able to attack a government building. The number of Allied troops killed by Afghan troops increases at a good pace. The UN says, “Lethal altercations are clearly not rare or isolated; they reflect a rapidly growing systemic homicide threat (a magnitude of which may be unprecedented between ‘allies’ in modern military history).”
