Nato chief: Success in Afghanistan is possible
Nato’s military operation in Afghanistan can be successful, the alliance’s chief said today, urging member countries not to lose heart despite a strengthening Taliban insurgency and unexpectedly high casualties.
Speaking to a forum before a two-day summit due to begin later today in Latvia, Nato Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer insisted the alliance will prevail in its first mission outside Europe. “Afghanistan is mission possible," he said.
