Alastair; What do you see as a victory in Afghanistan? However, with the shortage of helicopters still a problem, most movement is by road and Brig Carleton-Smith warned that British forces must prepare for an increasingly Iraq-style insurgency as the Taliban modified its tactics from pitched battles to ambushes and roadside bombs. I hope the Brit is right and that Karzai is wrong. Karzai may have reason to slant? The Brit pictured painted is not real encouraging - as things move towards an "Iraq-style insurgency". ........My son while serving in Afghanistan traveled by Russian helicopters piloted by Afghanistan pilots because ours could not function at such high altitudes. steve
