"In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, U.S. forces achieved a rapid, high-tech victory over Afghanistan's terrorist-supporting Taliban government. Five years later, the Taliban is back. . .
"And make no mistake: we are not winning. . . . if we think the mission is only about counterterrorism or counterdrug operations, then we will lose. . . .We must acknowledge the magnitude of the task and pull in the full authority of the international community. NATO can do much more than just supply troops. We need to acknowledge that, yes, we do nation-building."
Meanwhile, on the Western front, Maj. Gen. John Batiste, claims that the “conduct of the Iraq war fueled Islamic fundamentalism across the globe and created more enemies for the United States.” He must, like Wes Clark and Colin Powell, be yet another unpatriotic coward.
