Like the proverbial “when EF Hutton talks, everyone listens”, when the British Commander in Afghanistan talks about defeat all armies should listen. The Europeans are all ears, but General Patreious with all his hubris is not interested in any history lessons of Maiwand and Kabul. The US General wants to replicate the Iraqi surge. No matter that the situation to totally different. No matter the fact that the Sunnis in Iraq were isolated, at the receiving end of things from the Shia, the Kurds and the occupation forces. No matter that the comparison is not valid in Afghanistan because the US supports a minority non-Pakhtun government in Afghanistan surrounded by hostile Paktuns.

The writing on the wall: Karzai and his backer-ISAF and NATO have been defeated in Afghanistan. Only the announcement remains
War on Taliban can’t be won, says army chief
British commander in Afghanistan says aim is now to reduce insurgency to low level
The most senior British commander in Afghanistan has said the British public should not expect a “decisive military victory” by coalition troops and has spoken about the possibility of holding security talks with the Taliban.
In an interview published today, Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith said “we’re not going to win this war” and the aim was not total victory but reducing the insurgency to a low level, something which could involve talks with the Taliban.
Carleton-Smith, the commander of 16 Air Assault Brigade, said the objective was to enlarge the Afghan army so it could take over the security of the country.
While paying tribute to his troops in Helmand province, and describing successes against insurgents, the brigadier told today’s Sunday Times: “”We’re not going to win this war. It’s about reducing it to a manageable level of insurgency that’s not a strategic threat and can be managed by the Afghan army.”
He went on: “If the Taliban were prepared to sit on the other side of the table and talk about a political settlement, then that’s precisely the sort of progress that concludes insurgencies like this. That shouldn’t make people uncomfortable.”
The Observer reported last month that the Taliban had already been engaged in secret talks about ending the conflict in Afghanistan in a wide-ranging “peace process” sponsored by Saudi Arabia and supported by Britain.
There have been 120 British military fatalities in Afghanistan since military operations began in the country following the US-led invasion to topple the Taliban in 2001 following the September 11 terrorist attacks on the US.
The UK has around 8,000 troops in Afghanistan, mainly concentrated in the volatile southern province of Helmand.

The government of Afghanistan prior to the invasion of that country was trying to do just that – ”…sit on the other side of the table and talk about a political settlement,…precisely the sort of progress that concludes insurgencies like this.” to come back many years later, after the world has witnessed the attempt to ethnically cleanse and the successful changing of the government to one that the occupation forces feel more comfortable with – of course, for the natural resources of that region. 5pillar.wordpress.com
