U.S Attacks Increase on Taliban to Force a Deal to be Made.

      In Kabul, Afghanistan American Air strike have raised their attack power over the last 4 months hoping they can put an end to this war. American pilots bombed Taliban with 21,000 bombs or missiles from June to September. 700 in September alone. Stated in the New York Times, American plans to end this nine year war,

The stepped-up air campaign is part of what appears to be an intensifying American effort, orchestrated by Gen. David H. Petraeus, to break the military stalemate here as pressure intensifies at home to bring the nine-year-old war to an end. In recent weeks, General Petraeus has increased raids by Special Forces units and launched large operations to clear territory of Taliban militants

 It is clear that his plan is to somehow persuade the Talibans to make peace with the Afghan government.However, Talibans have not rejected the idea of peace, they prefer communication should take place, rather than more violence between the two nations. Will we be able to end this war after all? Afagan leaders seem to believe the two-track stretgy is flawed,

that bleeding the Taliban may actually make the insurgents less inclined to negotiate. Matt Waldman, an independent analyst who has worked extensively in the region, said that it was unlikely that many Taliban leaders could order their men to stop fighting.

That question still remains arguable, however this new strategic plan created by Petraeus seems to be a bit doubtful. The idea of killing off insurgents is risky because they have infinite amount of captivity to regenerate. I suppose all we can do now is just wait and see what will happen next...
