NATO says insurgency is not spreading in Afghanistan
NATO says the Taliban insurgency is not spreading in Afghanistan and that 70 percent of the violence last year occurred in only 10 percent of the country, in contrast to more pessimistic pessimistic assessments.
President Barack Obama has acknowledged that the US is not winning the war in Afghanistan and hinted that the military would reach out to moderate elements of the Taliban in a reconciliation process, the New York Times reported Sunday.
