NEWS ALERT: OUTGUNNED TALIBAN ARE MOUNTING TOUGH FIGHT IN MARJAH


The Taliban are outgunned, but this is not stopping them from giving the United States military and what is left of the NATO coalition forces one helluva fight for Marjah, Afghanistan.

If the battle for Marjah is any indication how the Afghanistan war is going to go, you can expect U.S. forces to be in Afghanistan for at least two more years and quite possibly much, much longer.

General David Petraeus, Commander of Central Command, says it is going to be "tough" and he warns of many casualties on both sides and says the U.S. military will be in Afghanistan for at least another 18 months.
