Labour admits: we made mistakes on Afghanistan
"The defence secretary, Des Browne, will admit today that Britain and its Nato allies seriously underestimated the strength of the Taliban and the violent resistance faced by western forces in Afghanistan.

What are the odds we never hear such words from anyone in the Canada associated with this looming fiasco.
