Now - Afghanistan: The Unforgotten War

Embedded with the Marines in Afghanistan: Can we defeat a resurgent Taliban? America thought it had won the war in Afghanistan six years ago, but a recent escalation in violence and instability?including the death of nine U.S. soldiers this past weekend?has given rise to the question: Have we allowed the Taliban to come back? This week NOW Correspondent Bill Gentile reports from Afghanistan's southern Helmand Province, where he was embedded for nearly three weeks in May and June with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. They are among 60,000 foreign troops on the ground in Afghanistan?more than half of them American. Forces there face an ominous challenge as the Taliban attempts a return to power, in some cases merging with other insurgent groups, and potentially providing safe haven for Al-Qaeda and other anti-American terrorists. Reporting from the front lines NOW provides a soldier's-eye view into what some consider America's "forgotten war." Are we still winning it?

Nice one shows the truth about the war. The stupid Europeans and Americans are leaving the opium crops so the terrorists can finance their war on humanity, finance criminal gangs in the west and kill our youth.

if you ask me i think the americans and the brits are no different from the so called torrorists. Are they not doing the same thing, eg shooting and bombing the only thing they dont do the same is suicide bombing cause were not mad enough to do such a thing ware as they are, The soldiers in iraq and afghan are tortchuring innocent people believing they have information unaware that the person they are tortchuring might not know anything. I just think all this war carry on is shit its pathetic. our country are stronger than ures WHO GIVES A FUCK innocent people are dying and this shouldnt happen !!!!!!!
