Rikardo,
What Harper said isn't anything new.
Our Bush clone sock puppet Prime Minister merely parroted what General David McKiernan (Commander of NATO and Coalition forces in Afghanistan), General David Petraeus (CENTCOM Commander, responsible for the Iraq and Afghan theaters of war), General Robert Gates (U.S. Defense Secretary), Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Brig. Gen. Mark Carlton Smith (former Commander of British troops in Afghanistan) have already said.
What these gentlemen have done is reluctantly admitted to the inescapable and demonstrable truth about what is going on in Afghanistan.
In this case, to admit the truth is a form of 'insurance'. If they were to continue with their claim that "We're making great progress" in Afghanistan, which was the case with the Harper administration, when the people found out the truth, it would be very unpleasant when the people started venting their anger toward their civil and military leaders for the casualties, loss of life, waste of money and effort spent so 'warfiteers' can profit.
