The Wall Street Journal warns that the Afghanistan government could fall six months after U.S. withdrawal; Judith Miller reacts.
The top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan said security across the country is deteriorating just weeks before the last American forces withdraw.
Gen. Scott Miller, in a rare briefing on Tuesday, said that recent gains by the Taliban are highly concerning, even if not unexpected.
"The security situation is not good right now," he told a small group of reporters at the fast-emptying coalition headquarters in Kabul. "Civil war is certainly a path that can be visualized if this continues on the trajectory it’s on right now. That should be a concern to the world."
