Impossible. The CBC keeps saying the taliban are winning and it's NATO killing all the innocent people. Surely this must be a mistake because they didn't talk to the taliban press representatives.

This is an insurgency and the way the taliban will win is by eroding our will to keep going. That taliban have a saying that "the west has the watches but we have the time". They will do that by exploiting any western casualtys, any colateral damage and by claiming torture, abuse, rape.. whatever gets headlines. We definately hear when there is a western casualty or failure.

This is a taliban failure and it works in our favor. The 16 people killed, the 23 wounded all have fmilies and their not blaming the west for this one, but the taliban. We can try our best to secure their country but taliban blowing up Afghans is big bad news for the taliban. If NATO wasn't there, it would still be taliban blowing up Afghans.

Here is the 16 minute extended version of Kirsten Drysdale's interview with 'Tom', an Australian soldier. Tom was willing to share his story about what being on the ground in Afghanistan is actually like. This is the first, unvarnished account of its kind you will see on Australian TV. To protect his identity, ‘Tom’ has been played by actors Aden Young, Dan Wyllie, Lewis Fitz-Gerald and Rodger Corser.

“It appalls me that whinging frauds are able to gain the bulk of the media access and press their bogus claims… I can’t change the course of a cultural tsunami of myth making and superficial story telling, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept it.”

Pitty we could never see something like this through the CBC.

But you will from the forces..
