An Afghan officer's perspective- Pakistan is the problem
Capt. Faisal of an Afghan artillery battery in Nuristan says the Afghan Army is preparing itself to be free of international support, but they still struggle against outside influences. He points the finger at Pakistan, where he says the problems start. The Capt. says their best operations have been to offer fire support to repel an attack on a city center that was called in by fellow Afghan officers. He says insurgents will try to disrupt the Aug. 20th elections.
