Soviet Commander: US faces similar fate in Afghanistan
This item updates item 'Soviets in Afghanistan'

Asked what difference the latest troop surge in Afghanistan will make, the 74-year-old former deputy defense minister says, "I can see only one: Obama will be more often going to the airport to pay his last respects to the soldiers killed in Afghanistan."

"That's the only difference that I can see, whatever the size of the task force."

Afghanistan will never be pacified.
