Afghan president criticizes anti-terror strategy (AP)

August 30th, 2010

In this Aug. 4, 2010 photo, during a rescue mission, a team from a U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Rescue Squadron scans for threats out the open door of a helicopter, in Kandahar province, southern Afghanistan. Since the war began, the countryside surrounding Kandahar has been marked as the heartland of the Taliban, the insurgents' springboard to retake all of Afghanistan. Now, as U.S. and allied forces wrestle with diehard insurgents on booby-trapped fields and roads, the battle for Kandahar is being described as the decisive campaign, a linchpin of American strategy to win the nine-year-old conflict. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley)AP - President Hamid Karzai has again criticized coalition strategy in fighting Afghanistan’s stubborn insurgency, saying it has thus far produced nothing but civilian deaths.
