So was the big offensive just strategy?
We heard a great deal of the big offensive planned for Kandahar in Afghanistan but so far it has failed to materialise. Was this a strategy to have the Taliban concentrate their forces and has it failed?
Perhaps it is that with change in command there has been change in strategy even though it was denied at the time, or has the Afghanistan administration decided it cannot afford the fallout such a campaign would create?
These and other questions should be asked because we don't like been led on and have military leaders string us a line of bull. Better to say nothing than to promote a campaign that never happens.
