New York Times Blog: September 9, 2010

Alright so it's taken me awhile to get these blurbs about the paper out of my head and onto the internet. Better late than never... cheesy, but true!I'm going to have to jog your memory on what happened on September 9th since it was 3 weeks ago. This Times had Afghan police officers breaking their fast in Kandahar City while a U.S. soldier kept watch. The article, "Nato Forces Push in Kandahar, To Mixed Result" by, Ron Nordland. The article mentions how the white surrender flags of the Taliban are no longer seen throughout the city, they have been replaced by the Afghanistan flag. Although the Taliban may have been pushed further underground, they are still not relenting. Gen. David A Petraus, the NATO commander said, "In some areas the Taliban momentum has reversed, but there's clearly a lot more work to be done." The Talibans terror campaign is still in full force.
