My Way News - US forces leave isolated Afghan base after attack
My Way News reports: "The NATO-led coalition said the move was part of a new strategy outlined months ago by the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, to shut down remote difficult-to-defend outposts and redirect forces toward larger population areas to protect more civilians [...] Every inch of ground the U.S. cedes, emboldened Taliban militants are likely to take and trumpet as a victory over another superpower."

Comment: I'm amazed that these military leaders can't see the simple reality that nothing will endanger civilians more than a Taliban victory.
