U.S. military suffers major defeat in Korengal Valley, forced to retreat :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dal medio oriente :: information from middle east :: [vs-5]: "Korengal Valley is a microcosm of the entire country. The generals arrogantly thought that by occupying the valley. they would draw out and kill all the resistance fighters and eventually win over the local population. But their presence only infuriated the people and inspired countless more fighters to resist the occupation. This is the situation in all of Afghanistan. The Pentagon brass openly admit that the resistance forces cannot be defeated militarily. The goal in Afghanistan, like it was in Korengal, is to fight and die endlessly, while the generals figure out how to avoid the appearance of being defeated."
