A leaked CIA report says the situation in Afghanistan is mired in stalemate, contradicting recent optimistic Pentagon statements. The sobering conclusion is deepening divisions between U.S. intelligence and the military, about the outcome of the decade-long war. The report also claims that attempts to improve security are being undermined by corruption, incompetent governance, and Taliban fighters operating safely from neighbouring Pakistan. Khalil Nouri, who's the co-founder of the New World Strategies Coalition told RT the situation in Afghanistan is so grim, that the U.S. might be having second thoughts on withdrawing.
