PETRAEUS SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG,, HARD WAR
Anti-War - CENTCOM commander General David Petraeus conceded again that the war in Afghanistan will continue to "get harder before it gets easier.". . .
But as the war continues to worsen, Gen. Petraeus doesn’t want to hear any complaints, insisting that Congress should “reserve judgement” on the new strategy for at least a year.
Gen Petraeus is just the latest in a growing chorus of military commanders conceding that the record violence of 2009 is going to give way to record violence in 2010. All seem to be keeping on message that the violence is going to eventually drop, but for the time being the effort seems mostly to stifle criticism of the rising casualties.

Petraeus, is lying to us, it will get harder until the US pulls out.
Anyone who looks at history learns that Afganistan doesn't fold to invaders, it hides in the hills and caves, and harries the invaders until they get fed up, are tired of the losses and leave. The only way to make this easier is to leave Afganistan now.
