Everything Going Well In Afghanistan

Pollyanna reports from UK Generals have become a running joke with reporters of the Afghan debacle over the full 12 years of it. But even by those standards this is bonkers. Small detail of 4,000 dead in last 3 months.

"When you are fighting a ruthless enemy inevitably you are going to take some casualties," said Gen Lorimer, Nato's second-in-command in Afghanistan.In an interview with the BBC's Karen Allen in Kabul, he described the Afghan military as "well trained".
"They're developing leaders," the general added. "They are going on the front foot, taking the fight to the insurgents." LINK
