Quotes
"Nothing lies ahead in Afghanistan, no success of any sort will be lasting
once American troops leave. I am sure President Obama has been told this,
as Johnson and Nixon were before him (Vietnam). They are not going to get
effective operation out of Afghan troops from any number of years. We have
been training them for 8, 8 more years, 80 more years will not provide foreign
troops with the motivation to fight against their own countrymen, against the
independence of their own country for a foreign power, and we are a foreign
power in Afghanistan......Americans are kept totally ignorant about the bloody
side of war."--Daniel Ellsberg, fmr US Military analyst
