Breaking: Afghanistan Update

It's okay if you are confused. First we are winning militarily in Afghanistan, then we need more troops to win and then we can't win. The great thing about Afghanistan, each day brings a new reality, decidedly different from the previous one. Good news, we're kicking Taliban ass again:
Insurgent forces in this Taliban hotbed are on the verge of collapse in the face of an onslaught by NATO forces, according to the commander of Canadian forces on the ground in Afghanistan...

"There's good indication that they are on the brink of collapse in a number of different areas," Lavoie said in an interview, giving few details on how he arrived at the conclusion.

I just hope today's trend continues tomorrow and the day after that is consistent with the previous assessments.
