| War against Afghan's Taliban being won: Nato |
| 2013-04-26 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... insisted yesterday that the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan is being won, despite reports by other organizations of a sharp upsurge in cut-thoat attacks this year. US General Joseph Dunford, head of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), said there was "indisputable" progress towards the goal of a secure and stable nation. A study by the Afghanistan NGO Safety Office found attacks by the Taliban and other hard boyz rose 47 percent in January-March compared with the same period last year. The United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... has separately reported a rise of almost 30 percent in civilian casualties in the first quarter compared with the same period last year, with 475 civilians killed and 872 maimed. Dunford in a statement gave no figures for attacks but said 80 percent of them were in areas where less than 20 percent of the population lives. Equally importantly, he said, surveys showed that Afghans "will simply not tolerate the oppressive policies imposed by the former Taliban government". |

| #2 Will the war remain won when it's only the Afghan army and police fighting against Pakistan's proxies? |
