La OTAN "no está ganando" en Afganistán

Lo que el editor quiso decir... Es que la OTAN está perdiendo en Afganistán. Nada de qué sorprenderse, ya que el último en conquistar esa región fue Alejandro Magno, hace 2,500 años.

NATO forces in Afghanistan are in a "strategic stalemate," as Taliban insurgents expand their control of sparsely populated areas and as the central government fails to carry out vital reforms and reconstruction, according to an independent assessment released yesterday by NATO's former commander.

"Make no mistake, NATO is not winning in Afghanistan," said the report by the Atlantic Council of the United States, chaired by retired Gen. James L. Jones, who until the summer of 2006 served as the supreme allied commander of NATO.
