Well, here's another Pajamas Media podcast with Richard Fernandez from the The Belmont Club.
Richard once again interviews Bill Roggio of the Counterterrorism Blog. From his vantage point in Kandahar in southeastern Afghanistan, Bill talks about Operation Mountain Thrust, the coalition offensive to neutralize the Taliban in that part of the country.
The Taliban, Bill reports, are no match for the coalition forces militarily. So naturally one of the goals of the Taliban is do drive up casualties as much as they can--so public opinion, particularly in the Netherlands, Canada, and Great Britain-- turns against the troops' mission.
The Taliban can't win on the battlefield, but they have hopes they can win on the PR front.
The podcast is available here.
