David Miliband: Afghanistan 'not a fight to the death'
"Our goal is not to fight to the death. It is to demonstrate clearly that they cannot win and to provide a way back into their communities for those who are willing to live peacefully."
"If you're playing football and you want to make sure you don't concede any goals, the answer is not to put all of your players on the goal line - that's not a way to prevent the other side scoring goals.

I thought a 'war' was a fight to the death. It's not a 'fight until someone gets a bit hurt then we stop', especially against the Taliban who will really fight to the death.
I'm also not encouraged by Milliband's football tactics.
