Taliban Surge in Afghanistan ?

Telegraph: Reports that the Taliban/Terrorists are mounting their own surge to counter the Obama surge of US troops in to Afghanistan. Lets hope the Taliban/Terrorists stand and fight, it would be a military mistake, in one to one fight between USA Forces and the Taliban, the USA will always win. It seems from the Telegraph report that the Taliban are not stupid they are going for insurgent tactics, in other words IED's and sneak attacks, it is reported that the USA has already lost seven soldiers in combat since the surge. Thus the War in Afghanistan has become Obama's War. Thus the good deal between the USA and Russia that allows USA to move troops and equipment through Russia, these shipments are less open to attack. It has been reported that Liberals in Congress have given Obama a year to get a handle on Afghanistan, its going to take longer and more deaths. Obama might wanted this just war but war is bloody and not on political timetables, thus President Obama will have to show some backbone next year if Afghanistan is not working, the Liberal Left will want to cut and run, Obama knows he can not afford to be another Jimmy Carter. Thus Obama like LBJ in 1968 could face a challenge for the nomination in 2012.
