Comments on: Study: U.S. Unprepared For Homeland Attack

Equipment Shortages Stateside, Insufficient Training Mark "An Appalling Gap" For Military

[j-whitman]

The strategy for Afghanistan is clearly lacking a winning formula as there are "too few military forces and insufficient economic aid", it said. But beyond that, the report criticised a centralised power base in Kabul, which left the rest of the country open to the destabilising forces of the Taliban, ousted in 2001, and al-Qaida, as well as the strong opium industry and "stark" poverty suffered by the majority of Afghans.

Contributing to the failure is a diffuse focus, lost in efforts to stabilise Iraq. The study group suggests the US should "decouple" Iraq and Afghanistan, clearly delineating funding streams for each country.

libsluvsuvs,,,, Would you believe that came from one of our Generals ??? --- General James L. Jones

Two independent reports from Afghanistan''s former Nato commander warned today that the country risks becoming a "failed state" due to the continuing violence and economic instability.

A third report from Oxfam, in the form of an open letter to the prime minister, Gordon Brown, warns the situation in Afghanistan could lead to a humanitarian disaster.
