Top US Commander in Afghanistan says we 'have turned the corner' in circular reasoning fight
KABUL — The top US commander in Afghanistan has said American and Afghan forces have "turned the corner" in their ongoing circular reasoning fight, sources confirmed today.
"We've been in Afghanistan for 16 years, and it's been a long, tough fight," Gen. John Nicholson told reporters. "Which means we're going to win this thing. You can tell we have definitely turned the corner."
Nicholson, 60, has been in command of US Forces Afghanistan since March 2016, after taking over for Gen. John Campbell, who noted in 2016 that there were still threats in Afghanistan that would require US forces to stay.
