Afghan forces take over 'security' lead from Nato

Afghan forces take over security lead from Nato | World news | guardian.co.uk:
The US Military marked the occasion by killing some more civilians. A former Afghan general told the BBC this morning that the ANA would have to recruit 50,000 men a year to replace current losses and desertions. This is clearly an unattainable target and and an impossible situation. Added to the localised arrangements and accommodations which the ANA are reaching with the Taliban forces in the East and South, this is a house of cards just waiting to fall. There is no 'State' for the ANA to sustain as the corrupt Mayor of Kabul continues to squat in his palace and the Taliban consolidate their gains of the past two years. Once the NATO protectionists leave the Taliban will overrun the  South and East of Afghanistan in months. The rest could just possibly follow. Mission Accomplished anyone? Obama's speechwriters better work hard to spin this one.
