Long and Bloody Road in Afghanistan

Guardian: Reports that the UK Defence Secretary, Bob Ainsworth has stated in essence that the War in Afghanistan for the UK has a long road before we can win against the Taliban. This is why we need a heavy weight at the Defence Department, can you think that the Dark Prince himself, Lord Mandelson would be so negative, he would point out the success not that we are in trouble in Afghanistan. This is not to argue that we need a spin on Afghanistan like LBJ did over Vietnam but we need a Defence Secretary that will point out the we are pushing the Taliban back, there was an election in Afghanistan, we didn't lose our brave soldiers for nothing, there is hope for Afghanistan.
