| Obama, McCain Find Common Ground on Afghanistan - 147 sec
PlusObama, McCain Find Common Ground on AfghanistanObama, McCain Find Common Ground on AfghanistanThe Associated PressBarack Obama and John McCain both agree that the U.S. needs to send more troops to Afghanistan. However, they continue to disagree over the future of America's involvement in Iraq. (July 15)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:dual video of Obama and McCain]John McCain and Barack Obama have found some common ground. [Notes:Afghanistan file]Both presidential candidates are calling for the U-S to step up its efforts fighting terrorism in Afghanistan. SOTJohn McCain"our commanders on the ground in Afghanistan say they need at least three additional brigades. Thanks to the success of the surge, these bridages are becoming available and our commanders must get them."SOTBarack Obama"i will send at least two additional combat brigades to afghanistan, and use this to commitment to seek greater commitments with fewer restrictions from our nato allies" These committments come just days after nine U-S soldiers were killed in Afghanistan Sunday, military's highest death toll there in three years.Obama has long maintained that the Iraq war has distracted the U-S from other threats, including a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan.SOTBarack Obama By any measure, our single-minded and open-ended focus on Iraq is not a sound strategy for keeping America safe.Obama will visit both Iraq and Afghanistan later this month as part of the first foreign trip of his presidential campaign. He plans to meet with U-S commanders in the region, as well as Iraqi and Afghan leaders. The A-P's former Baghdad bureau chief Steve Hurst has been talking to officials on the ground in Iraq about what message they plan to give Obama. SOTSteve Hurst "the officials there say essentially we believe we still need a bit more time before we begin the withdrawal process and we think that rushing this could upset the progress that has been made. If obama were to be elected, and he were to say we're going to begin withdrawing troops and they'll be gone within 16 months, then that becomes our mission"Hurst says that while there's value in Obama traveling to Iraq, the heavy security likely to accompany him will make it difficult for him to get a true picture of the situation on the ground. SOT Steve Hurst "They breeze into a baghdad neighborhood, or another town, and they're accompanied by security reasons by vast numbers of US forces...So what these people see is not necessarily the reality in that neighborhood or in that town"Obama's opposition to the war is well-known.He says he plans to withdraw combat troops within 16 months of becoming president.McCain calls Obama's plan misguided. He says withdrawing troops is tantamount to declaring defeat. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

| Veterans - Soviets in Afghanistan - March 31 - Pt 1 - 749 sec
As part of its series on veterans from some of the world's most brutal and forgotten conflicts Al Jazeera travelled to Russia.
Despite being the Soviet Union's largest military operation since the second world war, the decade-long war in Afghanistan is regarded by many as a humiliation and the Soviet 'Vietnam'.
However many veterans are still physically and psychologically damaged by their time in Afghanistan and say they do not receive adequate support upon their return.

See full film here:

Under the Taliban, Kabul's football stadium was a place of fear and execution. Football was discouraged and spectators banned from cheering. But through all the years of oppression, love of the beautiful game remained. Now, in a symbol of the country's rebirth, Afghanistan is rebuilding its national team. We follow football legend Ali Askar Lali as he returns from exile in Germany to select and train the new players. Working in farcical conditions, he tries to prepare the men for their first symbolic international match. Will the team be ready? And do they stand any chance of success?

| Survivor's Tale - Afghanistan - 1436 sec
June 2008
Internationally acclaimed Photographer Stephen Dupont narrowly escaped a suicide blast in Afghanistan. After 20 years of recording the plight of others, he was now turning the lens on himself.
Just after the explosion, Dupont pulled out his camera and began capturing the chaos. He filmed himself, blood running down his face, as he searched for his lost colleague, not knowing if he was dead or alive. With such media-targeted attacks increasing, what will happen if journalists stop covering conflict-zones? "We wont be able to bring back the message or tell both sides of the story...there'll be no story to cover".

| Taliban Burning - Afghanistan - 1583 sec
October 2005
After soldiers of a US 173rd Airborne company burn the bodies of two Taliban killed near the Pakistan border, members of the army's psychological warfare unit then broadcast an inflammatory message designed to taunt and bait the
enemy.
US soldiers in Afghanistan have taken the tactics of psychological warfare to a grotesque extreme. After soldiers of a US 173rd Airborne company burn the bodies of two Taliban killed near the Pakistan border in a desecration of Muslim burial rituals, members of the army's psychological warfare unit then broadcast an inflammatory message designed to taunt and bait the enemy. A translation offered on camera by Sergeant Jim Baker of "PsyOps" reads: "Attention Taliban. You are all cowardly dogs. You allowed your fighters to be burned. This just proves you are the ladyboys we always believed you to be." In recent months, the Taliban have launched more attacks that at any time since the invasion. Faced with such a resurgence, the Americans are resorting to psychological warfare to demoralise the enemy. Armored vehicles loaded with loudspeakers blast loud, offensive music into the valleys. But such tactics may also heighten the perception of local people that the Americans are as barbarous as the Taliban.
