"EU official paints bleak picture of Afghan war

UNITED NATIONS: A top European Union official painted a bleak picture of the conflict in Afghanistan, and said Friday that the Georgian president's "impetuous temperament" had contributed to sparking the conflict with Russia.

Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the European Union's foreign affairs commissioner, acknowledged that Taliban fighters have made significant military gains in recent months nearly seven years after an American-led invasion ousted the hard-line Islamic regime."
