McChrystal: Violence and Casualties Will Rise in Afghanistan
------------------------------------------------------------



The top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley Mc
Chrystal, said on Thursday he expected to see violence and casualties
rising in the coming months.

Gen. Stanley Mc Chystal: "I think it’s likely that our casualties and
violence will continue to rise, particularly through the summer months.
They could rise well into the fall. But I think it’s important, because
I think it’s that pressure we place on the insurgency that will be, in
the security part of this effort, important."
