War in Afghanistan: Will we live to see the end of it?

I realize it is late, and class starts tomorrow. However, I was up and reading, and thought this was both appalling, and pertinent to the class (even though we have yet to start). General Petraeus was on Meet the Press this morning and offered up some gorgeous spin about how the war is going. No where in the segment was there any mentioning of the staggering increase in civilian deaths, or the bullets being yanked from a screaming, and dying pregnant woman, who was shot by ISAF forces.

David Gregory, who was doing the interview, seemed to be quite enamored with Petraeus, and his bias towards the man diluted any chance of getting real answers.
