CTV.ca | British general: 'We're not going to win this war'
ok a better one, how about asking him what his thoughts are on the British forces Commander in Afghanistan, Brig.-Gen. Mark Carleton-Smiths comments
"
We're not going to win this war," he told the newspaper. "
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 also said that negotiations may be necessary to end a Taliban insurgency.
"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," Carleton-Smith said. "That shouldn't make people uncomfortable."
