British doctor and nine others killed in Afghanistan ambush - Telegraph

I'm beginning to think this is an un-winnable war and becoming a second Vietnam. I was listening to a BBC report where the locals stated to the reporter they would rather have Taliban than the occupying forces. I know it is the "occupying" part that is the issue but the local "army" is not effective so effectively they would prefer the old regime.

We haven't found UBL so he is either dead, being well hidden by the indigenous or in Pakistan/elsewhere and being well hidden. The sooner we are OUT the better.
