LONDON (AP) - The NATO mission in Afghanistan is being undermined by members' failure to provide adequate troops and by serious strategic mistakes, a panel of British lawmakers said Wednesday in a report.
Echoing concerns expressed by senior British military figures in recent weeks, legislators warned the entire campaign is at risk if key NATO countries continue to refuse to deploy additional personnel.
Lawmakers also criticized the pace of work to combat the opium trade in Afghanistan and said NATO was failing to communicate its successes to ordinary Afghans, handing the propaganda initiative to the Taliban.
