Re: US leaning toward exclusive focus on Al-Qaeda
And I see that as a dangerous change of tactics. The Americans like always are concentrating on the potential threat and not the real one. The real threat is that the Taliban are getting more recruits and that they are controlling even more area now than before.
The Helmand operations was a farce. They did nothing. They need to follow the development angle more than the Military one. A guy who has food on the table, a home, a job and a family is not gonna go and join the Taliban. Now a guy who has none of that, that guy is gonna join the Taliban.
