Pentagon report: Afghans believe Taliban victory inevitable

[Wretched Excess]

translation : the administration's july cut-and-run date is destroying our credibility in afghanistan.  the critics of the administration's july pull out date are proven precisely right.

but BHO is so utterly incapable of admitting that he is ever wrong, that he would rather let this international blunder fester than unsay any of his messiah-like pronouncements. 

Pentagon report: Afghans believe Taliban victory inevitable

Washington (CNN) -- A new Defense Department report on Afghanistan says dramatic increases in fighting against the Taliban have failed to convince the local population that the Afghan government and coalition forces will succeed.

"The Taliban's strength lies in the Afghan population's perception that Coalition forces will soon leave, giving credence to the belief that a Taliban victory is inevitable," the report says.

The 96-page "Report on Progress Toward Security and Stability in Afghanistan" is a required update to Congress and it covers the period from April to the end of September.

It is commonly referred to as a "12-30" report, for the section of the 2008 Defense Authorization law that requires the twice-yearly reports.

Most of us knew a Taliban victory was inevitable when Lord Zero won the election, and surely knew it when he announced a firm date for withdrawal.

and now the afghans apparently know it.  and if they know it, then the tall-eee-bon know it.  and al-quada knows it. 

which is exactly what broadcasting the cut and run date so spectacularly retarded in the first place.

All too predictable, at least for anyone who doesn't have a belief system revolving around Skittle-shitting unicorns.
