Lakshar Gar, Afghanistan Yesterday we wrote that the British Army has given over the town of Lakshar Gar to the Afghans, and we moaned about just this one city being handed over, but then thought, okay, you have to start somewhere.
Today we learned the Afghans are actually in charge of 1-square-mile (2.4 hectares) of the city, and the Americans and British are right there to respond immediately should the Afghans get into trouble. What's more the British feel that securing a part of the city is one thing, when the Afghan forces have to go into the countryside, its going to be another thing.
After banging head against stone wall for a few hours, Editor stopped. After all, they have to start the handover business somewhere, right?
