AFGHANISTAN - Prognosis?

"View Is Bleaker Than Official Portrayal of War in Afghanistan" New York Times 7/25/2010

Excerpt

A six-year archive of classified military documents made public on Sunday offers an unvarnished, ground-level picture of the war in Afghanistan that is in many respects more grim than the official portrayal.

The secret documents, released on the Internet by an organization called WikiLeaks (Afghan War Diary), are a daily diary of an American-led force often starved for resources and attention as it struggled against an insurgency that grew larger, better coordinated and more deadly each year.
