11:02 pm
this facility was built to save critically injured american troops fresh from the front lines but doctors here also treat afghan civilians caught in the crossfire with nowhere else to go for help nine year old wiley was shot in the head by a stray bullet earlier this year when u.s. marines got into a firefight with the taliban his village in helmand province the bullet shattered part of his skull and would have killed him if not for emergency surgery in six months dr min park says he's treated more than a fair share of afghan bystanders mostly gunshot blast victims in this follow up operation he and his team are reconstructing the boy's forehead with a titanium mesh that will restore his appearance so i started what i was going on i was surprised by the difference i had this i was very likely very hard studies to show. in the recovery ward well his father at home mother says

that while he's sure it was a u.s. marine well it bit his son he's grateful for the first class treatment he has rescinded which i know what's that and i'm just happy that he's ok the shooting wasn't. he's forgiven accident or not the enduring insurgency suggests that no amount of goodwill can compensate for civilian casualties that continue to climb each month in a war the green zone to use and will close in kandahar afghanistan for. yes like a patient got to stand and that second decade american forces that facing growing resistance from people who think of never ending war and they're going on there is a new tenant cannell antony shop that says the u.s. is holding in the footsteps of the silvia cheney and should have left the country don't have. two thousand and three we actually achieved our major military objectives by two thousand and three what you've seen since then is just such are dealing with a culture we don't fully understand following the same failed path the soviets
11:04 pm
followed in their occupation silly to actually try to secure the urban areas to basically modernize the culture and some hope that they would become a twenty first century society it's not our job to make the the lives of the afghan people better our job was to ensure that terrorist attacks cannot be mounted from there and that's what we did in zero three frankly everything since then has been a waste issue until we decide we're going to get serious this is really pakistan the afghan government knows that we know that and finally admitted within the last two weeks that the eye of the pakistani intelligence service has been helping the taliban but basically you have a pentagon which is committed to a failed course and they are not only doubling down on the tripling down on things that they know they cannot win it's time we believe if it were up to me i for president obama i would declare victory that we actually did back in zero three and zero four and let it go this is the deal you have to seek regional solutions this is not an american issue this is truly a pakistan afghan india iran issue and frankly we should be work with those people
