NATO doubts Taliban can mount spring offensiveTaliban militants are expected to step up their attacks in Afghanistan soon, but the militia has lost strength and does not have the capability to launch a "spring offensive," a NATO spokesman said Wednesday.
Instead, it will be NATO troops who will be launching the real offensive, Brig. Gen. Richard Nugee said, referring to upcoming military operations but giving no details.
In my opinion his assessment of the situation is wrong. They have been forced to retreat back because of mounting pressure from US on Pakistan. Sources say that their military capability is intact.
