US general: New offensive under way in Afghanistan

US general: New offensive under way in Afghanistan

Afghan national army soldiers sit atop an armored vehicle at the Defense Ministry in Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011. Abdul Rahim Wardak, the Afghan defense minister is making a pitch to get heavier and more advanced weapons like jet fighters to defend against foreign threats. Wardak told reporters on Tuesday that the billions of dollars in weapons that Afghanistan has already received are effective for fighting the Taliban, but that without heavy weapons, Afghanistan would be hard pressed to fight a conventional war.
