Another whistleblower comes forward on failure of U.S. campaign in Afghanistan - Video
Another whistleblower emerges from the US military as retired Lt. Colonel Daniel Davis accused US military leaders of painting a distorted picture of Afghanistan. - Press TV has interviewed Wayne Madsen, investigative journalist in Washington about the accusations of lies fed to the American public. He discusses startling revelations about the drug lords in Afghanistan and their relationship to President Karzai and the US Special Forces and US marines. What follows is an approximate transcript of the interview.
Press TV: With all this being said, what future do you seen with the US presence in Afghanistan? How will it end do you think?
Madsen: I think we know from history that Afghanistan has been the graveyard of the empires: Alexander the Great; certainly the British were defeated there; the Russians were defeated there; and it’s not going to have a very good outcome for the US. But in the short term, with all this war talk about a war with Iran, you can be assured that the US military presence in Afghanistan will remain in the short term because this is part of a strategy to encircle Iran. So, in the short term US troops will continue to die in Afghanistan and Colonel David, what he has to say, will be proven unfortunately very very correct.
