Is this turning into the same kind of fiasco that the old Soviet Union discovered Afghanistan to be?

I dont think it will turn that way... there is a big difference bet. the Talibs and Western troops lately... American/Canadian/Euro troops are very well trained and fights very well coordinated. Most of the Talibs don't want to engage directly to the troops because this will mean non-stop chases and a likely death... If we try to anylize the casualties on our side, its too far small. Only the MSM is making a big deal out of it. I'd say let all NATO soldiers go there and get exposed to the real firefights free of charge rather than sitting back in their own countries criticizing how Americans fight the war. Let them taste it for good.

This is very much the case. The Canadians have been particularly outstanding. Allied or American, if the commanding general wants more troops, he should get them.
