As the Obama administration faces tough choices in finding a way out of the Afghan morass, a 66-page report by General Stanley McChrystal plainly outlines the stark situation that now confronts the top military commander in Afghanistan. The ‘leaked’ report makes a case for sending additional troops to Afghanistan or else the conflict “will likely result in failure”; it says. Besides taking a candid stock of the obtaining environment, the assessment points out succinctly to the manner in which an unbridledIndian interference is pushing the chaos in Afghanistan to the extent of being intractable. Expressing a rare understanding, the report tacitly acknowledges the Pakistani imperatives to counter theIndian moves on the Afghan chessboard in order to safeguard its vital national interests.

mcchrystal is a nice guy! From his style and manners I have the impression that he knows that many of his scottish ancestors have suffered defeat and even lost their lives, trying to subdue and overpower Pushtoons afghans. His soft approach at village level has been tried before in 19th century but without success. The Pushtoons do not trust any foreigner particularly the infidels. History tells us that one cannot trust Pushtoons and it is equally futile to make any agreements with them. Mr Karzai is a Pushtoon and may yet surprise all his western friends.
