So the Afghan president Hamid Karzai dismissed British forces as 'not up to the task.
And U.S. general Dan McNeill - who led Nato forces in Afghanistan in 2007/08 - is said to have been 'dismayed' by a British effort which 'made a mess of things' in Helmand.
And Helmand governor Gulab Mangal is also said to have criticised British troops for failing to get out of their bases and engaging with local people.
Failing to get out of their bases? how is it then so many troops were killed in Helmand? because they 'WERE OUT OF THEIR BASES'.
How do you think this makes our troops who have served numerous dangerous tours out in Helmand feel, and what of the families of those that died, how will this disclosure make them feel?
When is this vile Wikileak site going to be closed down, and most of all when are our media going to stop helping them to promote their damaging gossip?
If it was a site highlighting racist views likely to cause racial disturbances, a site encouraging vile acts against children, or a site encouraging terrorism, etc. etc. It would have been closed down long ago, and rightly so.
But this site remains open, and the media continues to broadcast it's wares, unlike of course, when they join together and are careful what they report, in case it offends certain sections of the community.

if the generals were already complaining about it, then it would hardly have been news to the enemy - they can read newspapers too.
In fact, the publication of these official views might even give us a better reason to get out, given that neither the Americans nor the Afghans are doing a good job. The leaks are helping to inform pubic opinion.

Yes but have you though how all this make a soldier fighting on the front line feel?
Apparently they don't appear to have much public support, some people and sites like Wikileaks are telling them all their efforts are futile, their Generals don't know what they are doing, and the politicians couldn't care less?
All this and they still have to rise freezing cold at around 3.30am, out of their sleeping bags, that are stretched out on the desert sand, perhaps for some their last day on earth, but regardless of all of this they must still 'Soldier On'.

<<sites like Wikileaks are telling them all their efforts are futile,>>
actually aog, wikileaks isn't telling anybody anything, it is simply publishing items written by others.
according to us emails, elements within the american administration don't think our forces are up to it.
If you think that comes as news to our troops you are very much mistaken. Our people on the ground have a pretty good idea how the yanks think and what they think of them.
