BBC News: Reports on the comments by the head of the UK Army General Sir David Richards that Afghanistan will be tough for UK Forces in 2010. If by the end of 2010 the UK is still taking the level of losses of 2009 then the UK voter will demand that the UK gets out, the UK has played this game before and we have the bloody t-shirt. Thus it can be postulated that the the USA and NATO has about a year to turn things around in Afghanistan; of course they wont; but least Obama is giving Afghanistan a chance, his double surge this year alone means that its up to the US Military to win in Afghanistan, neither the US or UK voter will support failure or body bags, as reported if the US military thinks it will take 500 dead a month, if true prediction then the war is lost already, the US voter recalls Vietnam, they will simple not support failure. Thus the Military has about year to show some success, otherwise the NATO will have another Korea on its hands, just enough troops to keep the peace but a never ending the conflict, an endless war folks.
