U.S. General admits about Afghanistan

The Secretary of NATO came to Athens to inform the government that «(Greece) must resolve all the differences with Turkey, for the good of the alliance and will have to think, how to strengthen the military power in Afghanistan», as the only NATO concern for the near future, is how to get out of the quagmire that the former U.S. president throws the alliance starting the famous «War on Terror».

The General then wrote to Washington that «…the Afghan people going through a crisis of confidence since the war against the Taliban, failed to improve their lives ...». Even wrote that «…the objective to deliver the security of the country to the Afghan military forces is not possible before passing another three years (the war began in October 2001), and it will take much longer to pass the security of the country to the local Police ...».

More than 30,000 U.S. troops sent to Afghanistan since taking the governance of U.S. by Barack Obama. So NATO power is now up to 100,000 troops. (According to official figures always). And all this at a time that a poll of «Washington Post-ABC news», showed that only 49% of Americans still support the war in Afghanistan and refer to it as «worthy».

The BBC revealed that the message of U.S. General Stanley McChrystal, notes that this strategy «does not work». According to the report of the Head of the NATO military mission, contains also, indirectly the demand of increasing the military power in Afghanistan.

The risks we are ready to take (?) (Pandemic H1N1).

,

The symptoms of swine flu (H1N1) is generally light, but the effort to prevent the risk of pandemic poses many risks.

The panic has broken out worldwide. It has far surpassed that of 2004, when was diagnosed that the bird flu (H5N1) had caused the death of 60% of those infected. Fortunately, the flu that proved that it was not so contagious (as now) in humans.

Things to swine flu (H1N1) is a little different and has killed humans in 1100 (as last week) who are ill but under extremely difficult conditions - according to official figures.

The authors of the Lancet medical journal say that the rush to approve vaccines in Europe, allows pharmaceutical industry to prepare four «false vaccines» based on «pseudo-virus». According to the acceleration of procedures (due to a pandemic) will not require extensive safety studies …



As the german newspaper «Der Spiegel» notes, this means that of the 25 million German citizens who will be vaccinated, there is likely to be about 250,000 of them that will suffer severe organic reactions, which could not have been foreseen, given the speed of security checks.

Clinical trials of the vaccine have been done only in adults rather than children and pregnant women who are particularly at risk from the virus H1N1.
