NATO Summit in Lisbon re Afghanistan
Eric Margolis reports:"All the platitudes, doubletalk, synthetic optimism and fudging at the NATO summit could not conceal the fact that for all their soldiers, fighter aircraft, heavy bombers, tanks, helicopter gunships, armies of mercenaries, and wizardly electronic gear, the western powers are being slowly beaten by a bunch of lightly-armed Afghan farmers and mountain tribesmen."
Well worded, Eric. Thamks, but deep down, most Americams probably already realize this. Polls comsistantly show at least 60% want it over.
