WHAT OBAMA’S AFGHANISTAN "PROGRESS" LOOKS LIKE
1 June 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
Stop the War’s day conference on Afghanistan on Saturday 11 June could not be more timely.

The day after Obama’s speech, eight US troops were killed, the highest daily figure for four years. The next day, two British soldiers were killed. The father of (…) -
