The Afghan-Pakistan War

The Afghan War is not an unreported war in the media, but it is a largely unreported war in terms of useful, unclassified reporting by governments and NATO/ISAF. Only the UN has provided consistent analytic reporting on the progress of the war, and its reporting only goes into significant detail in the area of counternarcotics. While the UN deserves some praise for its reporting, NATO/ISAF, the US government, and allied governments have not provided any meaningful transparency or insights into the overall course of the war. They also have failed to provide meaningful plans, programs, and budgets; adequate military forces; and adequate aid funds and personnel.
