182 / Afghanistan, at a dead end

A newspaper report today doesn't mince words: Obama faces insurmountable battle in Afghanistan.

Paul McGeough is unequivocal, the war in Afghanistan is a lost cause SMH. Months ago Andrew Wilkie said on SBSs Insight: "It's true, if we leave Afghanistan now, people will die. But if we stay, people will also die. However, if we stay, more people will die." It's a rotten situation for leaders of the Coalition, including Australia's SMH. The question is, how come they think they have a choice?

In truth, there is no choice. Get out of Afghanistan now. There is no choice, no alternative.
