General Stanley McChrystal's confidential report repeatedly warns that defeat is likely, without more forces and the quick implementation of a counter-insurgency strategy. The leaked assessment of the eight-year-old conflict was obtained by The Washington Post, but its authenticity has been confirmed by the Pentagon and the White House.
