Even as he tried to stick to the official stance about progress, NATO spokeman Brigadier General Joseph Blotz conceded that violence would escalate yet further in 2011, adding that “there is no end to the fighting season.”
On the other hand, the German general insisted that NATO was finally moving into the “hold” phase of its clear and hold strategy, at least in some parts of the country. This did not, however, appear to mean anything in terms of violence.
The comments are the clearest indication yet that the official claims of “progress,” already coming under serious criticism from a number of fronts, doesn’t come with even the pretense that violence is going to be on the decline, and appears to be completely disconnected from the realities of the war on the surface.
2010 was the deadliest year yet for NATO in Afghanistan, with over 700 troops slain. With 2011 just around the corner it is of particular concern that, once again, the situation is expected to trend worse.
Americans should set up a new show, one that will rival American Idol.
It could be called, Who Is The Biggest Liar? and it could feature untruths told by members of the American Government, the MSM, the State Department, and the Pentagon.
Clinton would be a strong starter, Petraus has potential, Mullins has appeal, Obama would have a head start, Bolton would star and Palin, well what can one say?
Bring on the show, I say.

He just admitted that Crusaders lust for Muslim blood and their resources will rise, no surprise here.
The facts are, AQ and the Taliban are killing far more muslims than the US.
Wow! What gave that one way? Did the good General have a revelation or did a bomb explode too close to him and woke him up?
Herr Reichsgenerale Blotz is cavalier to say the least. "Hold" and "clear and hold" and gosh, Herr Reichsgenerale couldn't even coin up a 'new' phraseology. "Clear and hold" been hanging around for about a long time. Westmoreland used that line a way back when. You know, in the Nam?
So the Afghaniscam is in a holding pattern with "violence" scheduled for a 2011 "increase." Is there even one sane general left in the NATO/US regime of indiscriminate killing bureau? Cause I mean, reading what Herr Reichsgenerale Blotz has to say and this all comes across as desperation on the cusp of madness.
being one of the bright lights he predicted someone will get shot in 2011.
Well, can we in any case plan on 'intensifying' the antiwar effort?
you the h*ll do you people think you are. Putting Americas collective head in the sand will only get more people killed. The way to deal with evil is to fight and win. You are all cowards trying to justify not serving.
This blue eyed Crusader is truthfull general. Of course the violence will increase and the losers are the blue eyed Crusaders. I am sure their lack of History knowledge make them professional story tellers. This viollence will go on for a decade or so until the whole Muslim nation will uprise with our beloved leader AL-MAHDI who will come from Al-Madinah, then the whole western governments will collapse with their crooked system and all people in earth will live very prosperous without the Zionist control banking system.
