WASHINGTON : The top commander of US and Nato forces in Afghanistan on Tuesday vowed coalition forces would prevail in the war and said he was open to reconciling with rank-and-file insurgents.
"We will win. The Taliban won't win. But we will also have to deal through good and bad days, and good and bad months," General Stanley McChrystal told US National Public Radio.
The US commander's comments came after he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Monday that the Taliban had momentum in the war and that Nato-led forces had to "stop their initiative." The insurgency has reached its most deadly level since the 2001 US-led invasion that toppled the Taliban regime, with a record 76 coalition soldiers killed last month.
